It's certain to take a long time for the economy to recover. Well before my time but I guess it did after the two world wars. Britain pays off final instalment of USA/Canada loan - after 61 years from WW2 on Friday 29th 2006, The Treasury will transfer £43m to the US and £12m to Canada. The original loan of $4.34bn - equivalent to £27bn today - was made to avert Britain from bankruptcy at the end of the war rather than to finance the combat itself.

Fair play to the Government, they have managed to turn that round in 14 days of the business closing. Just had mine confirmed an hour ago! ???

A friend who works for Haven Holidays has been told to report back to work for the half term week at the end of May. How do these businesses know the lockdown will be lifted by then? They don't - forward planning though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Boris' letter arrived today. Can't say I'm that impressed. "Stay at home, and get as much decorating done as possible before the restrictions end", or words to that effect. Admittedly I didn't read it myself, as I was busy decorating, but Muckerette kindly read it out to me, bless her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's recorded deaths. I.e. some happened over the last week or so and it's only now they have been collated and added to todays figure. Who know's though what the true figures are around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like the deaths from today likely to be those who caught the virus 2+ weeks ago. As usual, don’t look at single days in isolation - look at the general trend instead. Most trends indicate the increase in new deaths per day is decreasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
