"? fleccy."
It was a Plusnet mobile deal i took out around New Year. £7 a month, unlimited calls with 2GB of data. We don't even plug our landline phone in.
Lam, there are many young and healthy people among casualties, they were not all old with underlying heath issues.
That’s right Dofe, corporate bonds sell off instigate the domino effect.
Four more new death in Washington state today, how interest rate cut would help the situation?

I don’t think the markets give a monkeys about coved 19 unless it leads to a credit crisis. That’s the real fear.
"Clearly hey must think COVID-19 is somebody else's problem. It's all going to end in tears."
I agree, its baffling where this optimism is coming from with the press reports around the virus, it's the herd thing again.
"If your service is still not working please get back in touch and we will be happy to investigate further for you."
Serves you right for using landlines lol. £7 a month for unlimited calls and 2GB of data, who needs a landline these days.
LT. it would appear that your line has had a RAT test, remote automated test, from either the exchange or FTTC depending on your product. Basically it tests the conunitity of your line. The problem with this is, if you have a fault relating to poor connections in the network, as this test applies a power feeding voltage it can blow the fault clean away, only for it to return in days or weeks. If you can show this keeps happening by recording times and dates it is failing and what speed you are getting at the time, that may help in getting someone out to look deeper than remote testing. Believe me I know, it took me 3 months to get a similar fault on my line resolved, and I have experience and contacts to assist.
".. that the market wants to force the Fed to cut rates, and this crisis might be its way of doing it... "
At this precise moment, as I post, the US markets are surging up at an astonishing rate - 800 points up on the DOW!
Reason given? Imminent announcement of an interest rate cut. Clearly hey must think COVID-19 is somebody else's problem. It's all going to end in tears.
Surging - whilst the world markets are in panic mode.
FTSE futures are up in blue but only modestly so far.
“Will the share price ever recover?”
A cynic might say that it has recovered- to a more realistic valuation.
A more cynical me might suggest that the market wants to force the Fed to cut rates, and this crisis might be its way of doing it.
Will the BT share price ever recover? Its no use selling at this price and will keep but what is driving this move??
"As a result of watching that I'm currently sat in a Costa coffee cafe with a cardboard cup instead of my usual ceramic cup"
This virus is obviously very contagious and whatever happens activity is going to be depressed for a while. They have no idea how many infected people are walking around. but not showing symptoms. I think a lot will depend on the reporting of new cases over the next couple of days. Not sure if the market's getting ahead of itself.
Hey Fleccy, that's the doc's I watched live today in my post below somewhere -
"Dr McCarthy told CNBC's Squawk Box."
There were 2 of them. (scroll down that link). Truly horror stuff listening to them. They were using the show to warn the public as they were unhappy with the govmt advice and were countermanding it.
As a result of watching that I'm currently sat in a Costa coffee cafe with a cardboard cup instead of my usual ceramic cup. Won't go back to in-house washed drinking cups until we come out the other side.
So let’s leave it to Mr Trump who said virus spread could be dissipate by April.

Dr Matt McCarthy, who works at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, says coronavirus cases will surge into the thousands by next week
Not sure where this optimism is coming from.

"We said early on it was a case of not if, but when," Cuomo said at a news conference. "This is New York, we're a gateway to the world. To see all these cases around the world, around the country, of course we are going to have here."
