"Hong Kong permanent residents aged 18 and above will each receive a cash handout of HK$10,000 (US$1,200) in a HK$120 billion (US$15 billion) relief deal rolled out by the government to ease the burden on individuals and companies, while saving jobs."

"This follows similar efforts by Macau, which will offer residents shopping vouchers, and Singapore, which will give people between $100 and $300 in a one-off payment."

As the coronavirus spreads around the world, the Chinese government is fighting a war on two fronts: one against the virus itself and one against the truth. Beijing is desperate to protect its own image by shaping the narrative around the virus and its origins. But the time has come for the international community to demand Beijing end its war on the truth so we can work together to contain the epidemic.

UK cobra meeting set for Monday according to Sky News over the impending crisis.
Will your man Robert Carlsye be there?

Think their entire cabinet is now run by some cummings/gubbins? lad, a chap that looks like he's out on weekend release, grey tracksuit, weird comments to the press, and sinister guilt-laden looks over his shoulder etc.

Who knows that the (un-elected) 'super-forecaster' will guess-timate and instruct upon the people.

Seems like Rep Ireland might be one of the last in Europe to announce a case. Just a couple of other countries have not so far, Scotland ,Portugal, Poland , Hungary, Czech Republic

Don't panic! Nobody told the stock markets...

Now we have the economy as well as the health risks to be worried about

That could well be temporary. People are in panic mode at the moment but that panic could quickly lift if the virus spread slows down.

Comparing this to the 2008 global financial crash (as some have done) is premature.

There are people younger then that who have died. It is more likely that you will die if you are older but not guaranteed.

It's when a government gives out money to the public in the hope they will spend it and so provide an economic boost. IMO it is the smartest way to boost economic activity there is. Instead, you have clowns like the Federal Reserve in the US and the ECB in Europe, sort of handing out money to banks and corporations instead of consumers. This IMO is rank stupidity.

After the last global financial crisis, the Australian government handed out helicopter money to all eleigible adults, think it was AU$900 each. And it worked, Australia sailed through the aftermath of the GFC unscathed.

people will be more than happy to be on trolleys by the end of next month if it takes of like Wuhan and Italy.

This is what I was saying in the original thread from day 1, when people would say its 'only the flu'. Its the strain, what happens if you have a heart attack and cant get into hospital, cancer patients can't get treatment, road traffic accidents etc. can't get into hospital nevermind wanting to be in a hospital that is over run with Covid. I think its going to need a monumental mind shift from Governments world wide to combat this. I really hope I am wrong and that this is a storm in a tea cup.
