Coronavirus Pandemic

And anyway, "Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick said: "We don't have any plans to (advise over 50s to shield)."



Total bullshit story - what a surprise from Sky...

[Marc Overmars]

Going to be making full use of the eat out to help out scheme this month.

Food.

[Mac76]

I'm not bothered about it, it feels like being a cheapskate, also it's a ridiculous policy, i object to taxpayers' money going to people stuffing their faces at Nandos (at the same time government is supposed to be 'tackling' obesity) and anyway everyone will go out Mon-Weds instead of later in the week, so it won't help the economy

Yeah.

Obsesity is one of the few risk factors for covid-19(84) let's give everyone half price McDonald's.

The government is full of morons.

[Marc Overmars]

Well I won’t be eating chain rubbish like McDonald’s or Nandos anyway. There some decent places that have signed up where I live tbh.

[Mac76]

Yeah our local places mostly doing it too, but we just eat out when we want, so we went last night

But if you've a family i guess it turns into quite a saving so I can see it from that point of view

I think it's a reasonable idea to try and help businesses. We're thinking of taking advantage with some friends.
Will probably make us think about eating at places we might not have otherwise.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I see the intent of the policy and have some support for that.

However, I don’t think the outcome will be as intended. It will shift the pattern of demand from the weekend to earlier in the week.

I also don’t like how much of a broad brush is ceding applied. There are some chains that don’t need this support.

Yeah overall that's my feeling too, but Letters also has a point about people trying new places i guess
