My apologies. It wasn't clear that you're perfectly aware.
My apologies too for my irritable response. |

I admit to getting overwhelmed by this virus problem and how to solve it.
We've had 2 stimulus payments here in Oz..for some reason they get gobbled up by bills even though I no longer work (but I'm a carer for an aged invalid relative).
Think another is due soon..not a lot, $250.
I recall how then Oz PM Kevin Rudd, as the 2007/2008 financial meltdown hit the US and began to spread worldwide, he immediately gave a stimulus payment of $1500 to everyone (about 1000 quid then) and exhorted everyone to "spend spend spend" as the Bogan Mob (Aussie Chavs..nasty I know because I was included) went on a huge Giant TV etc spree and businesses country-wide were saved (and their billionaire owners rejoiced) and Kev was hailed as A Genius by economists worldwide.
# Rudd was influenced by the fact that as a kid, his father died and the family were kicked off their QLD share crop farm and the family lived in a car for a time . Now he's a multi-millionaire with a wife worth about $120M ironically, from owning numerous UK employment agencies.
But the conclusion is : despite their claims of how evil it is..Socialism (or aspects of it) seems to have been bailing out Capitalism around the world for 100 years !! |

As for low paid workers not being able to isolate - who are they exactly?
No, not crack dealers - those workers mentioned here, for example
www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket...pending/2018-03-28#:
There's about 2 million of them; and then there's the many categories of vulnerable, disadvantaged, disabled etc.
Fucking hell you are so confused Barney...
I am perfectly aware that millioms struggle on the minimum wage.
What the hell has that got to do with my thread!? |

Great! All the youngsters (who mostly get no symptoms anyway) will have infection parties, and soon they will all be immune, making it safer for the rest of us.
Genius. |
