RE: home or work - zap - 03-30-2020 @Old Bones if 80% are not working where does the government get the money to pay everyone. Debt must be on the rise or the y are just printing money. In any case worrisome situation economically for all. RE: home or work - Oldbones - 03-30-2020 Yes I am wondering the same thing, over here we pay taxes and we pay national insurance and we pay tax on nearly every thing we buy. We have the National health service NHS which is free to British citizens, good example, I have just had a load of tests, MRI scan and biopsies done over the last couple of months. None of that cost me anything. But I have paid national insurance and taxes for 45 years. We do have private health care if you want to pay, which only means you will get seen faster. The only thing we pay for is meds, but that about £20 or less, no matter what the med is. The government said for the NHS, no matter what they need or no matter how much it costs we the government will give it to them. We were told not to go to work unless your a key worker, and the government will pay 80% of your wages till we can get back to work. Where will they get the money, I don't know. They are passing laws, making it against the law to evict any one who cant pay rent. All homeless people or rough sleepers are being taken in and given shelter. For disadvantaged people, there are food banks where they can get food, it is not a help your self situation its controlled, and you get a fair share. Small business owners will receive grants to pay workers while the crisis goes on. A call went out for volunteers to help the NHS, with in about 3 days they had 5000,000 people step up to the plate. (to me that's amazing) Retired police and medical personal are returning to help with cause. All we have to do if follow the guide lines set out for us to help slow the spread. Yes there is political argument about loads of aspects to this situation. People complain about the Dyson company getting the contract to produce ventilators for the NHS, I don't care who makes them, just get them made. Will all this set the country back, yes it will, will people lost the fight for their life, yes they will and have. We can and should do our best. RE: home or work - Von Earlmann - 03-30-2020 I am working at a school and we have been told we will get paid and keep all benefits which is nice. The teachers go in on Mon, Wed, and Friday. My helper and i go in on Tue and Thur to fully clean and sanitize the building. School is closed to the public. At 71 years of age I prefer to work when building is empty. I have enough life insurance so wife won't have to grab the first man that comes along. I am fortunate to live in a rural sparsely populated county and there are currently no REPORTED cases in the county. There will soon be a large influx of returning people that have wintered in Florida etc and another group of folks coming that have summer places here so, I reckon it is just a matter of time. Anyway we will endevour to persevere. Try to stay safe everybody.

So I have been holed up mostly at home except for that occasional run to get provisions. The city of Ontario where I live west of Mansfield has been pretty quiet. Be safe there Big John!, Love to buy you a beer, or 3, or 6, or.. in Gettysburg one day.
