You can travel to work if you can’t work from home. Does that mean any job or just essential services? If no one can work then how do they eat and pay bills?

Up to a maximum of 2500 a month.Unless you’re self employed, you’ll be paid 80% of your wages by the government
But how soon will people get their money? Given that most government departments are slow people aren’t going to get their wages on Friday all over the country. It would be impossible to set up that quickly I would have thought.Unless you’re self employed, you’ll be paid 80% of your wages by the government
I SO agree - we’ll said.Much thanks to all you key and care workers, you are much appreciated.

Hope you manage with your boys Michen ?Up to a maximum of 2500 a month.
That wouldn’t even cover my rent (living alone) and my livery/basic horse bills after tax

I’m not. I didn’t want to do this and have been arguing myself and my family. I work with horses so they need doing. It’s also outdoors so less risk. I got a email today though from the asthma association stating severe asthmatics were to self isolate which I know has been said for ages but how do you define severe?
Anyhow, this email defined it. By sending a list of drugs and dosages. If your prescribed any on the list it’s severe.
I went in today but in light of this evening and the fact that I mentioned the email to my employers I e been told to stay away.
I can’t say it’s not a huge relief. I’d love to be able to use lockdown time to volounteer to help somehow but realistically I know if I get it I’ll probably die or at best use resources that could have been avoided.
OH and I own our own company. We pay ourselves a salery of pennies, and live on the dividends. It is quite common for small business owners.
If we are only paid 80% of the wage, we wouldn't survive one week. I'm not sure if these situations have been thought through. Worrying!
