I don’t know if they’ve officially gone from “containment” to “delay” yet, so it might be to do with that?There is another Cobra meeting today so I wonder if any restrictions will be put in place after that.
Does anyone know were these scheduled for every Monday just now or is it in response to something ?
definitely, in my workplace we have been told that if we have to self quarantine we won't get sick pay and i work in q company that has clients (all international with a big focus on italy and china) coming and going all day. the chances of someone in our office getting it or at least carrying it and giving it to others are so highI'm starting to worry now. People will start getting bored of washing their hands thoroughly and will feel pressured to go to work if they are ill. There's still a significant period of incubation before people are getting symptoms, ugh!
Hopefully the govt will provide a clear answer as I've seen different stories saying we're in different phases of the spreadI don’t know if they’ve officially gone from “containment” to “delay” yet, so it might be to do with that?
We had an email from the DFE that saidSchool in Tamworth closed for a week for adeep clean . Teacher tested positive. My kids would love it ...
Me!!!! If the government decides we all have to go into lockdown how will I pay my mortgage? Definitely public health is extremely important but how many people across the country will end up defaulting on payments/end up in financial distress. I dont get full sick pay, I would only be entitled to statutory sick pay, as is my husband. It's what £400 a month? That's less than my mortgage then I have nursery fees, food, electric, heating etc. I'm more worried about that than anything at this pointHas anyone thought of what they’ll do for money if the have to self isolate/go into lockdown? I live hand to mouth and if I have to go onto sick pay then I’ll probably have to rely on a food bank and won’t be able to pay my bills. While I’m worried about the health of my relatives the financial implications are more of a personal worry.
I worry about this too but surely the government can’t let this happen?Me!!!! If the government decides we all have to go into lockdown how will I pay my mortgage?

My employers have said anyone who has to self isolate will get full pay, I think that will change if the whole company has to isolate though. The financial/economy side of things is very worrying.Has anyone thought of what they’ll do for money if the have to self isolate/go into lockdown? I live hand to mouth and if I have to go onto sick pay then I’ll probably have to rely on a food bank and won’t be able to pay my bills.

This is what I am thinking, surely in addition to the expected impact on the economy a personal impact on the vast majority of the public would also be catastrophic?! How many people would be left in a hole?I worry about this too but surely the government can’t let this happen?
I’ve been lurking this thread for some time and noticed the lack of media coverage on the financial implications for individuals.I worry about this too but surely the government can’t let this happen?
money is my main worry! I’m on maternity leave just now and pay is rubbish! I’m more worried about the financial impact being isolated due to them putting the country under lock down than anything else at the momentHas anyone thought of what they’ll do for money if the have to self isolate/go into lockdown?

Because some (most I assume) people live month by month. Doesn’t mean you can’t afford itNo disrespect to anybody here. But I'm shocked at the amount of people with insecure jobs that can't pay their mortgage in a month if they lose their job. The mortgage application forms make it very clear if you can't keep up with repayment you will lose your home. Why do people expect government help with their mortgage? That's not fair if the government helps people with their personal assets. At most they can work with mortgage companies to stop interest payments for a couple of months. The times of jobs for life has long been over, if you've got a mortgage it's mainly your responsibility to make payments. And mortgage payments are low at the mo.
I dont have an insecure job. I have a job that doesn't pay sick pay. I have insurance cover that will pay my mortgage if I am unwell but if I am made to self isolate that wont pay out.

If you live month to month would wouldn't pass the mortgage application process. I know many live month by month because of a low income, but also many live month by month on a good income because they choose to spend it all. Why should tax payers bail out people to help them build up a personal asset and private wealth? It's not your home unless you own it outright, if you can't make the payments for many months it will get repo'ed then people can rent and claim housing benefit to help with rent. Millions can't afford to buy and j don't think it's fair on them to use public money to bail out those with mortgages. Unpopular opinion I know.Because some (most I assume) people live month by month. Doesn’t mean you can’t afford it
