Interesting that 55% f the country thinks BJ is handing this well, 30% don"t and 15% aren"t sure. A figure I believe will get stronger as each day unravels and new measures are introduced. Mass gathering and sports events cancelled, and I wonder how many people have considered that one of the main reasons for this is to relieve the pressures on both the police and medical support needed to hold such events.
I have been critical of Sky News this week, but seems they have changed the manner in which they are reporting this, basically discussing the thinking behind each action and the order of what rolls out, with less time being given to those intent on sabotaging the manner in which they are making their decisions and why. People need consistancy and the outcome of a few hours debate was we must wash our hands more often, and carry on as normal as possible, and I would suggest thinking of others who need help in simply getting by.
I am choosing not to get involved in the tittle tattle of other countries in Europe,it just deflects from what we must do, and I will save that for when I have a better handle of what I must do.
Seems just like yesterday we heard the first of the virus in Wuhan, but the first case was announced in November last year, and whilst the stock market is not my niggest concern, I just don"t understand the repercussions as well as I should, I just wonder whether the news many have expected involving the SCIB1 trial,has been put on hold for a while whilst this virus develops. This doesn"t just affect us and we have seen a big fall in our M/Cap since.
So getting ready for my shopping trip, cleared a couple of cupboards and an opportunity to replenish all the items I have run low on, taking rattys advise as to alcohol stocks, and I don"t really drink anymore. Might as well behave as it is Xmas, it is lucky I have Sky and Netflix. Hoping everyone can prepare as best you can, keep safe and again I just can"t imagine the pressures for those with businesses and families, certainly a worrying time, I wish you all the best x
