RedFox Blog: A Free Room At An Hotel.
Post 792 31/1/21
Well this is not the circumstances to be celebrating because the free room comes with a problem. The question of reliance that some people who have been told to self isolate after their return from a foreign country have been spotted after two days wondering around a city centre. This is spreading the coronavirus around while they have been told not to. So! after these reports and like other countries the UK have decided to follow suit. This free room means that for fourteen days you will not be allowed to leave the hotel on return from any country.
So if you have traveled all the way from India you will be escorted from the terminal to a hotel where you will stay. There will be security so that you do not go anywhere that is out of bounds like shopping centres. You will then each day be given a Covid-19 test to make sure you are not unwell. If you do not display any symptoms after fourteen days then you are free to go. If in that fourteen days you become unwell then you kept at the hotel until you are free of the virus. Drastic I know but the general population is being good at keeping their word and self isolating when needing too. And that is why people who return from foreign lands should do also.
Catastrophic! 1/2/21
The economic fallout from the lockdown will be enormous as the UK government may keep the UK locked down for the first 6 months of the year. Many business’s will go under as many of them will not survive the crash as they have to pay bills with no money. The hospitality sector will be worst hit as the UK government is saying they will be the last to open and that might be May. A long way to go. But there is no denying that if any government unlocks fast then they will probably see a resurgence in Coronavirus which may mean another full lockdown. Which will be disaster.
And as the title suggests. The 6 months the economy will have to carry the burden of supporting business’s that have no income. Everyone will pay the price as many will become unemployed. And that means no tax income but there will be many on benefits. The state though has to support its population however much financial help that means. Because if the business’s do not survive the lockdown there will be even more unemployed and more will need to be on benefits. There is no way out of the current economic situation. Which is catastrophic.
