Quoting: watcher_ If everyone stays at home for 3 months, no work , nothing is made or sold. No one earns any money. Bills don't get paid, the whole economy stops. This is not a temporary pause in the economy and supply chain. It will not recover. I understand the virus is real , but its either more serious than everyone is being told, Or the virus is being used as a smokescreen for something else ? And i honestly don't know what that something else could be ? Check the Q posts mate. It says that the virus is actually a worldwide cover for a massive military operation to grab the top-level/celebrity paedos, bankers, dismantle the corrupt banking systems, and hand power back to the people. Trump's Presidency is apparently not a Presidency at all. He was put in there by the good guys to orchestrate it all. When he says he's at war with the virus, it's not the Coronavirus he's talking about... The world you know is just a sugar-coated topping; there is another world below it- the REAL world, and if you want to survive it, you'd better learn to pull the trigger!!! -BLADE |

"An update from McDonald’s UK and Ireland – See you soon I am incredibly grateful to our brilliant employees who have been working hard to continue to serve you safely in difficult circumstances. Over the last 24 hours, it has become clear that maintaining safe social distancing whilst operating busy takeaway and Drive Thru restaurants is increasingly difficult and therefore we have taken the decision to close every restaurant in the UK and Ireland by 7pm on Monday 23rd March." Translation = nothingburgers are breathing and coughing all over our staff and we no longer want to expose them to the low iq trash that makes up the general public. |

Sorry to hear and I see your predicament, i'm retired and my wife still works for the NHS so we should be able to weather the storm. All I can say is take as many payment holidays as you can for any repayments Etc. This wont last for ever and at the moment utility companies wont be allowed to disconnect anyone for non payment.
