RE: Went Back to Work Today after 3.5 months of Quarantine

in GEMS4 years ago

Sounds like you are smoothly heading back into work, the whole Coronavirus Pandemic has really just left me wondering - how could pretty much every nation on the planet be so totally unprepared for the devastating financial mess it has caused. I mean sure most, like our UK Prime Minister push the positive "We saved lived with Lockdown", but they quietly ignore the thousands of small business's that will never re-open because of it, the mass unemployment that is still unfolding as hospitality business's crumble. What business can seriously run with months of zero income? It's madness, Hertz car rentals crumbled in the UK, Shearings coach holidays, some serious long term established business's have just folded over this. And nobody mentions or cares about the small business. And the Furlough scheme in the UK to retain workers who can not work is a joke, it's being wildly abused and them the whole cost of the mess will be added to the taxes of the workers who still have jobs at the end of it all.

Yes my friend I agree it is a mess. I hate it that many small businesses won't ever recover. This is a hard lesson all Countries are learning. Hopefully we will be more prepared down the road.
