Simpler than that - some stupid mothers held a birthday party for a kid on our local beach. 15 or so children, 10 or so adults, sod-all attention to social distancing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Banker said: How do you calculate lower levels of jobless with borders closed? The bulk of hospitality workers will struggle to get jobs with no visitors. There's surprisingly few of them all things considered. In the May jobless figures (June ones should be out soon) there were only 59 unemployed in Tourist Accommodation (-10 on April) and 133 in Other Catering & Entertainment (-8 on April). Still well up on a year ago (10 and 6 respectively) but less than 200 in total and that is from the end of May before restaurants etc start going back. Obviously it still won't be easy, especially for accommodation owners, but catering may well benefit from people not going away for holidays as some have suggested and others may move into sectors where there are vacancies such Medical and Health Services.

Luck of the draw. That's true, but it's not really my point though. I'm not really looking at how badly it affects people but whether they catch it or not (and so can pass it on to others). One of the interesting things about the Spanish study was they found no significant differences in terms of age or sex as to whether people had the antibodies. It was all around 5%. Also for those who were blaming the Spanish and Italians high Covid rates on their Mediterranean ways, household size didn't make much difference.

I think the nature of our economy will make our finances a lot more resilient than those of the more diverse and much larger economies in the short term. The nature of so many of our principle businesses lends itself well to remote working. Longer term much more will depend on the ability of the outside world to generate business for these IOM located outward facing companies. We will not be immune to general belt tightening in multinational organisations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People often just assume things based on stereotype and don't both to look at the figures. I'll try and see if there is any detail on the English figures, but it may be due to the jobs people are in rather than households. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a large family coming and going with parents and maybe grandparents in the same terraced house that has to increase the incidence against a family where the generations live apart.
