Coronavirus

Divorce lawyers in New York say they have seen a 50 per cent rise in inquiries from quarantine-weary and financially stressed couples, reports our US Correspondent Josie Ensor:
According to Manhattan family-law experts, some couples forced to spend time together while isolating in cramped flats - or even in palatial mansions - have not fared well during the coronavirus outbreak.
William Zabel, a founding partner of Schulte Roth & Zabel, told Page Six, “We’ve had an increased amount of calls in the past week from people seeking representation for divorce proceedings, a 50 perc ent increase, and I have been hearing the same from my colleagues at other firms.”
Making matters worse, dramatic losses in the financial markets will further spur a wave of wealthy divorces, because richer spouses may decide they want out while their net worth dips — potentially helping them avoid larger settlements, Mr Zabel said. “People who have enjoyed busy lives suddenly find themselves confined together, at a time of incredible anxiety.”​

Interesting article.

Supermarkets - I think retailers will reduce their lines as they don’t need hundreds of thousands of lines, and they’ll rationalise further - they want this. They’re focussing on key lines at this exact moment in order to get stock in the door as quickly as possible without slowing lines down. This is the nudge factor they need with consumers, so they can reduce cost and increase efficiency against ze German discounters. Their point of difference is the huge offering of lines, they’re scared to lose that USP but it’s a cost benefit.

High Street Death - I don’t know if the high street will die but it needs to change to survive . I remember when I was at school 15 years ago if not more, talking about the “death of the high street” because of retail parks, and sitting there watching videos of Wolverhampton town centre (depressing) and Merry Hill. The large retail parks are full of high overhead companies, which are struggling. If the high street becomes a destination for eating, entertainment with shops in between (rather than shops with a few fast food restaurants and the odd cinema) it has a chance. The reason I think this, is for all the technology in the world - from shopping, to sport, to dating - young people in particular want to hang out and socialise. I can’t be the only one that once or twice a year goes to IKEA for some meatballs and accidentally comes home with £100 of crap I didn’t need.

Corona - the key bit, I had the realisation the other day the government does indeed want 60% of us to get it - I think we all need to accept that whether we like it or not. I just want to partly pick my own destiny about when I get it, and for it not to be over the next two months. Even in a year, it’ll be a dangerous thing to get so getting in when the NHS is running more business-as-usual and getting the right care and attention will help.

Everyone is saying there will be a baby boom, I reckon break up boom in a few months.

There’s also some disturbing booms like domestic abuse and sexual assault against kids is likely to increase too, according to the news.

Mental health issues for doctors and nurses seeing so many die, which is already happening.

Excuse my language but how difficult is it for the fucking Government, to be clear in their message and instructions?

Half the builders are closing half aren't. A building project in view from my window is ongoing and no way are they 2 metres apart, meanwhile, over the hill by me, the other building site has been closed.

Amateurs.

And meanwhile, the opposition have a failure as their leader whilst the 300 year leadership campaign continues.

You couldn't make this shit up could you?

I really do wish that Corbyn would just fuck the fuck off and never been seen again, he's an utter **** and it's embarrassing that he's still ploughing on.

Agree divorce boom incoming, my Mrs doing my head in within 48 hours of lockdown. Classic today storms into the room moaning about all sorts of minuscule things while I'm on video conference with the team I work in. Unbelievable Jeff.

He has no self respect or dignity. Sadly, I (and loads of others I'm sure) really am not surprised.

There has already been a change here with the shopping centres becoming more restauranty over the past few years. Malaysians have the habit of going to shopping centres to hang out anyway rather than going there to buy something in particular.

I find it hard to believe that this pandemic is going to go on for so long. 1 week of lockdown feels like a month.
 
Just as an NB.

BBC saying this morning (interview with a GP) that 1/4 confirmed cases includes anosmia now, so that may be a telling symptom as earlier suspected (but not yet 100% confirmed or reliable).

But sensibly pointing out any loss of smell with typical hay fever issues beginning (snotty nose/runny eyes etc) - don't panic.

It has to be loss of smell for no apparent reason before it can even be considered a potential Covid symptom.

Theres a difference between anti muslim and not being able to say anything negative about muslims else were deemed anti muslim!

Indeed there is. Which one do you think being outraged about a rumour that is deemed to sound true fits in to?
 
I'm sure there's a number of churches still open, you know the ones where it's not as obvious that it's a church.
