Data from COVID - 19 - COVID - 19 Update 1 - Health

Sky News: Reports " UK deaths reach 584 after rise of 119...The number of people who have tested positive for coronavirus in the UK now stands at 11,658.  "

Lets Get Real:

Let's always remember those that have killed by COVID -  19, it is the modern version of the Spanish Flu, let's be honest how many knew what the Spanish Flu was before the latest version of it landed on our doorstep.  Time has a way to make us forget, it heals wounds and people find the subject depressing.  One should recall that in 1918 people had World War One on their minds, and there was censorship of the news about the outbreak.  To recall those that have died of COVID - 19 and will die the Government should have a yearly update plan for a virus like COVID -  19.   The Government can not plan for everything, but it should plan for a virus attack, next time it could be a biological weapon attack, the UK should always be ready. 

The Government to HELP the self employed - COVID - 19 Update 1 - Health

BBC News: Reports " Self-employed workers can apply for a grant worth 80% of their average monthly profits to help them cope with the financial impact of coronavirus, the chancellor has announced. "

Lets Get Real:

The question that has to be asked, after COVID -  19 is OVER, who is going to pay back the costs of paying 80% of the wages of those employed and 80% of the profits of those in self employment.  In essence who is going to pay the piper, one assumes the Government will borrow the money to save the UK economy, the interests rates are ZERO, what happens when interest rates goes up and the Government will have to pay for these loans that means taxes!  The question is who will pay, of course the middle class, the big companies always have great tax accountants, they will be able to write off the debt.  At some point someone has to say, HOLD ON, the UK government in essence will own the UK economy, Lady Thatcher will be turning in her grave!  The Conservative Party has to remember it's the CONSERVATIVE PARTY not the socialist Labour Party.
