Genuinely hope you all come though with as little grief as possible. Para 2. Same as far too many people in the country.. DOMESTIC PROPERTY IS NOT AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY. Capital growth is however an agreeable side benefit. Do yourself a favour, treat your home as a roof over your head, as shelter from the elements and if you’re lucky it’ll be located somewhere agreeable and capacious enough for your needs. Its the airbnb’rs, the speculators, the capital rich that screw the market for everyone else, best not play the game with the short term spivs... Don’t worry AP, other than the exposure stuff I am very much all right jack, but I’m also quite concerned about society in general, as I’m sure we all are. Para 2 I’m talking about Commercial Property wrt to pension funds. I perhaps chose my words wrongly - domestic property in certain locations having become a get rich quick scheme on an individual level if finances allow, to the detriment of others. I’m recalling you work in property letting, is that right? And if that capital growth falls off a cliff, Or goes into free fall, what happens next? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert James Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 7 hours ago, The Moonster said: Johnson's advice has now changed from "we need to build herd immunity" to "avoid all but essential contact with everyone" in two days. And people ask why folk are panicking - mainly because the government are about as trustworthy as Jimmy Saville. Are Boris Johnson and Tom Johnston related, and if they are, which one can't spell his surname correctly ? Family advice to both is : "don't panic" , until next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 1 peoples health is it, but... tynierose’s phone is evidently red hot and G-man can’t stock the shelves fast enough. But those that own/run/manage a business, any reports? My phone was awfy quiet today, I expect it’ll stay that way for a couple of months now; I’ll get through it, I think. But I’m sure there’s many more businesses where they’re operating on small margins or high costs (lots of employees sitting about doing not much for example (and no, I’m not looking at you Richard Branson or Michael O’Leary) that this’ll just wipe them out in no time. I’m not talking about fat cats, just people who have a vested interest beyond a wage and a job. Without whom, there will be a lot less wages and jobs. I am kinda torn here. Despite this being the post of a nawbag, who going on the evidence of about 99% of his previous posts is just slightly to the left of Adolf Hitler and Dominic Cummings....... .... I do get the sentiment. Small business is gonna be fuc@ed. This is rotten.!! Hey Pete. If we had a progressive government like Norway, Denmark or Sweden...... you an yer wee company would be fine. Guess what...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I was in a hospital today. It was weirdly quiet. Apart from the woman at the desk doing the testing people there weren’t many people in the halls. I was expecting the bodies to be piled high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Given Boris' faulty herd immunity approach it won't be long before more fatalities . Some NZ reaction to the herd immunity approach... Vallance estimated around 60 percent of the UK’s population - roughly 40 million people - would need to catch the disease to achieve herd immunity. The suggestion of a herd immunity strategy for Covid-19 was met with horror by University of Auckland associate professor Helen Petousis-Harris. “At what cost? Throwing people under the train? There are younger people getting seriously ill as well.” University of Auckland microbiologist Siouxsie Wiles is also horrified at the thought of attempting herd immunity without a vaccine. “I thought it was satire at first, I thought it was a joke.” There’s no knowledge about whether herd immunity through prior infection is possible - or how long it might last. “I'm horrified. Absolutely horrified. And I know that many people like me are. This is an experiment and we're just flabbergasted that you would do an experiment on this scale.” Edited March 17, 2020 by madmitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
