Many companies have already announced permanent layoffs of workers. On Monday, building materials firm Travis Perkins said it would cut about 9% of its workforce, or 2,500 jobs. Airlines have shed more than 15,000 jobs in Britain. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, under pressure to ease the slump in the economy, has ordered a review of Britain’s two-metre social distancing rule which many employers say is stopping them from getting back up to speed.

Don't think it will last for long, its expected after the lockdown, give it a couple of months and it will be fine again

Aw! That's the Kingston John Lewis in that pic! ❤️ (Goes all post-pandemic nostalgic for random Kingston shopping)

Wait until government - ALL levels of gov't - layoffs start b/c of signif tax revenue losses. Alternative w/b/t raise taxes - not happening. i.e. can't pay out what you ain't got coming in. i.e. can't pay salaries/wages. i.e. layoffs. Large trouble in the Land of Oz.

Thanks Boris. Pig head

COVID-19 + post-Brexit = DISASTER!

Analysts' view: Market jitters over second COVID-19 wave are an overdue pullbackA second straight day of record new coronavirus cases in Beijing and a spike in infections across a swathe of the United States has dented investor sentiment and sent stocks sharply lower on Monday. The roller coaster continues. Perhaps we should focus on other matters than the current schizophrenia of the stock market? After all, it doesn’t reflect the true economy. VoteTrumpOut2020
