Some people will lose 2% of their wages, 2% will lose their lives.

I've told all my employees that I'll pay them if they're affected (infected?). I think that is the right thing to do.

Do you require proof? There are chancers everywhere.  Here, I feel rotten, I'm away to self isolate for 2 weeks...

Well if the chancers self isolate then they should be at home for 14 days. Anyone out and about should be sacked and prosecuted for fraud. This us is a serious matter and there should be no room for taking the piss.

That's extremely noble of you, fair play. Not many employers will buy into though I would imagine.

No. We're a small enough business (8 employees) and we treat them as grown ups. I'd like to think no one would be like that, in fact I know they wouldn't. So that's how we approach things.

Italy to close all schools and colleges for 2 weeks.

Could put alot of companies out of business that.

Seems to be a few cases around the "City of London" which could add to the economic consequences if that ramps up

Why?

Getting rid of that shower is likely to improve the local economy!

There are not particularly threatening though, one was in Italy and the other was from contact tracing of someone in England. The system is still working.

Which will be more than my payroll system will be doing, if you are to get SSP on day one, for coronavirus or self-isolation & on day 4, for all other complaints. Boris doesn't realise that the payroll software developers will have to do a bit of work on that particular one & then roll it out, all at the end of the tax year too.
