Just keep a eye on that Coronavirus, and all the latest information around it !!. If China gets replicated in the uk then our high streets will get badly hit along with the airlines, I hope and pray it doesn’t spread anymore and they get a cure very quickly, if they can treat Ebola then this should be like a flu jab for everyone, though time is crucial here. And it’s spreading without any noticeable initial symptoms, The uk government should be in a
Serious warning stage of this virus, and seriously restrict incoming human traffic.
I’m only thinking out loud here guys, China’s high streets are nearly empty!!!
Just weigh up the risk here. And invest wisely.

AidanOwens: Foot & mouth more likely to affect footfall......and mouthfall!!!!
Agreed. Complete hysteria.
The very last thing Card Factory have to worry about is pandemic.
Come on guys, there's analytical and smart thing and then there's overthinking. This whole china thing will blow over like the rest of them all do. Wasn't swine flu meant to wipe half of us out? Or Ebola? It won't affect footfall.
Lots of cards needed - get well soon, sorry for your loss etc. Now worries here from a bit of flu!
Soupchicken you could be right,
If it came to the uk, !!! What would be the first impact -----fear of catching the virus , that always translates into a reduction in footfall on the high street, one mention of salmonella in the eggs industry by Edwina curry destroyed the egg industry for a long time.
Fear keeps people away. Thus my vigilance around this virus and any knock on effect with footfall on the high street.
This virus is only getting started, so let's hope it disappears very quickly. Card factory couldn't withstand any substantial drop in footfall on the high street , if we were in China we would struggle badly. Keep it out of the uk at all cost.
Dyor,
thomas, I must admit I would never have sold CARD because of Chinese Flu
Maucha your absolutely correct, I would rather be honest posting here, than to completely ignore a potential threat to card factory’s high streets footfall, this corona virus could indeed blow over to
Nothing to worry about, though the world’s health bodies are currently deciding whether to call a major
Worldwide health alert on this corona virus.
I’m just going on my instincts after watching that Chinese newscaster speak about the huge drop in footfall in there cities.
If it fizzes out , I can always jump back into card factory again, Better being safe than sorry.
My judgement comes from =watch what’s happening on the ground. / China /= number of deaths to contaminated victims. People naturally become wary/ scared , and that always translates into a reduction in footfall in that contaminated area.
So replicated in the uk = that would have a serious impact on a already under pressure high street footfall.
As I said, I hope I’m completely and massively wrong here, and that virus doesn’t get to the uk or Europe, though that’s a big asked of this virus. !!!
China’s a perfect place to see how it spreads, and every medical body will be right now be working on a treatment plan for this virus.
If it spreads like a flu , it’s going to kill a awful lot of people. Maybe I should invest in dignity funeral services PLC .

thomasbrowne: that is some volte-face from you. I think there is a staggering approach to your trading. I mean both shocking and zig-zag to give my comment context!
Sold out at 90p ,why ? I’m watching this corona virus spread in China, and kill a high enough percentage of it victims, the Chinese news is carrying concerning stories about the footfall on the high streets has dropped substantially!! And in some markets which are normally full for the Chinese New Year etc, are totally empty,
Now if that gets replicated in the uk or anywhere else around the world it will have a knock on effect everywhere. If the footfall was to drop anymore for card Factory then that could be a fatal blow, I’m just going by the news reports from China, and this thing is only getting started ,
I hope I’m completely and spectacularly wrong here. Though
The second I seen the Chinese report I thought what if that gets replicated on our high streets,
It all could just pass like the Ebola scare, or spread like the common cold and flu ? !!!
Well very reluctantly I’m out for a while . For me it was scary to here them newscasters speak about the high streets empty because of the corona virus in China.
DYOR PLEASE
That’s shocking taste Taverham , what next ? , House Warming cards for the Aussie East coast? ( apologies.....)
Stick the card prices up 5% , still miles cheaper than anyone else , profit up exactly the sames amount as revenue. Problems solved, easy peasy , now for climate change.....
Who said , it's wise to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful?
Let's hope they got it right.
