"if we are in for a global recession - and the recession in the uk is the worst for 300 years - has anyone calculated the health impacts of such a recession? " What is your point? No one wants a recession by choice. The impact will have to be mitigated | |||

It is what it is and we are were we are, you clearly disagree with the lockdown and that's fine but the option of letting the virus run rife by not locking down at all could have resulted in tens of thousands more dead.. | |||

You have made a statement without a question?

Seems to be another let's take newspaper headline and turn it into a shitpost.... The country has taken on massive borrowing and the economy has been broken for 3 months it doesn't take a genius to see that's economically bad And politically no politician will come out and say sorry guys it's costs to much to our economy to safe your granny so pensioners are gonna die and you are paying more taxes to pay for this cluster fuck we mismanaged.

But that is two groups who are not without being too assumptive not the main producers of gdp.. Is that all you would've done because if so its a bit at odds with what you've been saying.. | |||

"I think there will be a lot of hidden deaths as a result of a lockdown as people dont have access to testing like cancer screening but it probably never be spoken of." No doubt there will be...but the lockdown was needed to prevent the deaths we knew would come from covid. If we had locked down 2 weeks earlier it most likely would have saved around 20000 deaths. But yeah I'm well aware that people will die due to it and not from it | |||

"Yes uk is heading for a recession, it was already going to happen with brexit but covid is speeding it up as well." some parts of Europe were already heading into recession too before the virus, the uk was actually in a slightly better place financially than some of our EU friends before the virus hit, now we are all in the shit. | |||

"if we are in for a global recession - and the recession in the uk is the worst for 300 years - has anyone calculated the health impacts of such a recession?" Be honest, Bojo was going to fuck everything up anyway with his severely badly/unplanned Brexit. If anything the virus gives him an excuse for later life. Oh i would have done wonderful things for the UK (England/mainly the south) if corona virus had not hit. He may have said, if able to string a sentence together. | |||

"What would the figure be how many wouldve died if we didn't lockdown would it be much higher " WHO early reports indicated that overall mobidity from covid-19 could be approximately 3%. Analysis from the larger population sample of New York gives a rate of about 1.5%. The experience of Italy shows that if hospitals become overwhelmed, the death rate increases due to patients who might be able to recover with treatment not receiving that treatment. This all suggests that if the epidemic had been allowed to continue exponential spread with no lockdown, the number of deaths in the UK would have been a minimum of 700,000 up to a maximum of 3 million. At least twenty times more than the current official death count. | |||

"if we are in for a global recession - and the recession in the uk is the worst for 300 years - has anyone calculated the health impacts of such a recession?" Worst recession in 300 years. I'm no historian or economist but think we've had a couple of wars slightly sooner than 300 years ago and my understanding is wars can cause a slight dip in the economy, but maybe wrong. | |||

"Lots of talk on here about a recovery being v shaped and fast. Let me clarify....stock markets will recover quickly. They already have. That's because the us, which is the global benchmark currency has literally said they will print an endless supply of money to get out of this. Have a look at us stock markets whilst the country is burning....they are going up. But stock markets are not the economy. The UK economy had not even recovered from the 08 crisis before this hit. Whilst the stock markets soared There are number of geo political issues at play.all to in depth for a swinging site. But don't believe the hype train. Standards of living have been depressed for years and will be even more after this. We haven't even got back to an 08 standards of living " stock markets dont = economy, but standard of living does?  ok then
stock markets are an input to the economy ... standard of living is an output (both impacted by wider factors than economics)
don’t pretend to be educating people while spouting total misleading information | |||

"No idea about 300 years, I wasn't around and I don't know if comparisons can be made It will be the worst in 15 years for sure, but the recovery will come very quickly in comparison as this one is based on a necessary world shutdown with an appetite for recovery whereas the last one was based on gross incompetence and greed leading to a fear of investment. The UK is unlikely to see any recovery whatsoever this year or maybe next as whose going to pump money into manufacturing until the damage of brexit is seen." The company I work for are a global manufacturing company and have been investing plenty in the business over the last couple of yrs and is set to continue, not all trade is with the EU you know, for my company the EU market is our smallest, the US, china, Canada, Australia and Africa are bigger markets for us with far more growth potential than the EU. | |||

I'm no historian or economist but think we've had a couple of wars slightly sooner than 300 years ago and my understanding is wars can cause a slight dip in the economy, but maybe wrong. "I think the UK finished paying for the Lend-Lease loans incurred during WWII in the noughties. That is a lot of years. After Chancellor Osborne's austerity measures we now have a chancellor who seems to have an open hand with money, much of it borrowed. I don't begrudge helping people as must have happened (apart from the greedy super-rich getting loans paid to BVI holding companies,etc.) there are many needy people. I think we will have very large debt problem when these loans have to be repaid and I don't see much hope for the unfortunates who will have no proper income in future. We could expect a period like the late 1940's though without the income from manufacturing and commonwealth. I don't see any reduction in taxation for thee and me even if it isn't income tax. (Unless you are a non-dom moneybags with a pied-à-terre in Mayfair or similar). Rant Over, just hoping that it will get back to normal, whatever that is, very soon! | |||

"So the stock market has needed a correction for sometime now. Forget about everything you read it’s all bull shit. Bears and bulls always need to make money. This is how the markets work. Only 3 people make money in markets. Bulls - they make money when the life looks good. That does not mean the market gives value vs the index Bears - they look for stocks that are over valued. If you’re bored look at market capital vs balance sheets Then you have the MM’s the market makers that’s the real money makers. If you win big they make money. If you lose they make money. This recession will be the shortest lived recession in history. " Yes, the City will not go short and keep the artificial money go round happening. With automated buying and selling it must ease the lot of traders these days! Hedge funds selling short in a falling market benefits whom? Pension funds? High net worth individuals? But what is all this artifice based on? Who is really generating wealth? I think that answer is China and other nations who exploit their workforce or irreplaceable natural resources. Incidentally I worked in the City over the 'Big Bang' period (and Black Friday too) but the champagne flowed freely then. | |||

"I’m a bull, always have been. Pump it full of steroids and blag the shit out of it! But all my bigger gains have been from a bull market. I kind of miss it! Also who never made money after the crash in 08. You had DT making gains of 300% who never knew about waves or anything " Are you sure you are on the right website.... This sounds like something of r/wallstreetbets If bear runs were longer then bull runs the market would have a negative number? Your previous analogy of markets sounds more like a sports betting book Sure you can run your money like that if want massive exposure. But its not how institutional investing is done. I actually timed both of these crashes. This one was obvious to see, the opec deal collapsed with Russia and Saudi gor into a dick measuring contest over dead dino juice.1 week before that markets where already pulling back due to covid in italy. Oil is the largest commodity assets class when its prices gets fucked markets always pull back. Then you had mynski moment and the whole global economy shit its pants. But hey as you said (stonks) go up when daddy Powell makes the the money printer go beer only one way to go You seem to be happy with your results...so each to their own | |||

you have also misread my post twice now because it suited your point so i will go for 3rd time lucky and then leave it be

The UK is unlikely to see any recovery whatsoever this year or maybe next as whose going to pump money into manufacturing until the damage of brexit is seen. The company I work for are a global manufacturing company and have been investing plenty in the business over the last couple of yrs and is set to continue, not all trade is with the EU you know, for my company the EU market is our smallest, the US, china, Canada, Australia and Africa are bigger markets for us with far more growth potential than the EU. " You might be one of the lucky people, how many can say that. A lot of UK trade agreements with non EU cointries are done through EU agreements which must be re negotiated by Boris and his crew before December. | |||

"What did people really think was going to happen if you shut down a whole economy for a disease with an Infection Fatality Rate similar to flu? The boss of the UK's largest recruitment firm, Reed, has said he fears current trends suggest far more people are going to lose their jobs because of the coronavirus crisis. James Reed predicted the unemployment rate could reach 15%, meaning five million people could be out of work. He said recent job cuts by firms were "perhaps just the tip of the iceberg". Reed has seen job advertisements drop by two-thirds, while applications per job are rising. This week Bentley, Aston Martin, car dealership Lookers and engineering giant Rolls-Royce have all announced job cuts." Reeds advertising rate is shit because Reed the company is shit As for all the other big recruitment firms. Most of them have not diversified despite the country needing mass employment changes since 2008. The sector is now dominated by niche recruitment firms and job board websites undercutting reeds business model. I'm not surprised aston Martin and Bentley are laying of workings. Do you think there will be ques for luxury cars at least for the next 2 years? Aston Martin has also committed to and f1 program so it's new main shareholder can bank roll his sons f1 career. (Now that's a sugar daddy) Rolls Royce have laid of workers from its aviation business because...nobody is flying planes and carriers are moth balling planes and trying to rollback plane orders. The aviation world is fucked for at least 2 years. There is a global oversupply of planes. The truth is nobody knows where the economy is heading or how the new economic landscape will look. Just like it was in 08 and after every major crash. What is sure. Mankind will recover and there will be new employment maybe in new fields and new sectors but it will come. When the industrial revolution in the 1900s took jobs from workers in country what happened? The economy changed and people went to work in factories in the cities. I'm not saying the future will be better. I'm saying...at least there will be a future. | |||

"not when you buy second hand or refurbished. I rarely buy brand new products so no i'm not drawn in my the capitalist world. I don't buy into marketing ploys of needing the latest things or upgrading every few years or need to have this fashion or that house etc. i don't buy what I don't need, I repair, refurbish and replace with second hand anywhere I can. my devices are at least 5 years old, none of the smart nonsense other than my phone which allows me to deny all permissions. never bought a new car or one that isn't at least 10 years old, parts are the only new things and don't drive often...way under the 12k average per year and repair myself with mostly hand tools. food I buy what i can't grow/keep & grow my own, compost food waste too. plastic - I avoid as much as possible, take my own tap water in a bottle and a travel tea cup and recycle as much as possible. these days internet & a device to access it are mandatory, even for the simplest of things like job searches and applications. cinemas, pubs, entertainment venues etc are not a regular thing maybe once or twice a year. electricity - scotland is at least 80% renewables now and i switch almost everything off at the plug (standby still uses 60% power) when its not being used so there's no large usage there either. so no I largely don't follow a capitalist life. We're not going to get a choice when capitalism collapses under it's own weight, everything has an end and capitalism in now. I would like to have clean air, clean water and soil instead of dirt or desert for my life & that of my children's, thank you. lets see who can say they are trying their best to combat climate change...6 yrs and counting down before the co2 max is reached. " How can anyone be "proud" to drive a car that probably pollutes more than ten modern vehicles, and old tech uses more electricity Standby uses 60% power ... lmao I'm afraid you may be deluded or something worse but you're entitled to your opinion I suppose, good luck with it | |||

Real unemployment will be on a scale greater than that of the Depression in the 1930s, and the consequences just as dire, without even considering the possibility of war..

All we need do is maintain normal good hygiene and good manners! " So, despite all the evidence to the contrary, you're advocating going back to normality? | |||

These are you opinions and that all the world has right now. Opinions. It doesn't mean you can't have them but its does not make them facts because peter Hitchens wrote about in his column. Nobody knows where the economy will be in 6-12 months that's why central banks are flooding trillions of dollars at them. The us unemployment numbers shocked everyone last week being lower than expected. You seem steadfast in your opinion though. My moto is plan for the worst hope for the best. | |||

"An economist, actually. If I recall, the epidemiologists got the AIDS forecasts in Africa spectacularly wrong, and whilst I don't pretend to have the powers of fortune-tellers, I submit that economists tend to have a greater grip on reality than most, despite their failure to be 100% right 100 % of the time.

"Whether or not Venezuela is a "banana Republic" - a derogatory term if ever I saw one - or an oil-based economy, is hardly the point though is it...only the RESULTS of mismanagement, which I contend, are plain for all to see. " A banana republic is recognized economic term. I suggest you stop worry about the government and ask for a refund for your economic degree if you are so worried about the recession. I and others have asked you for the basis of your opinions and you have provided none.

My cars are Japanese so they have an egr system as standard which recirculated exhaust gases through the engine & lowers them, it's mandatory in Japan for co2 & nox to be measured & regulated and has been since the late 80's have hydrogen bubblers in them to lower emissions again I keep them in good working order - lowers them again Don't actually drive that much maybe 6000 per annum if your lucky - so I'm way below most people's car usage and I won't travel stupid miles to get to work like alot of folk do (Manchester to London for example) so that lowers them again. The mileage my cars have done is way way below average for their years. Oh yes, I do have more than 1 car, can only drove one at once though, they can't all pollute at once. I can bet my electricity usage is less than yours even with old tech. Standby does use alot of energy & yes it's 60%, chargers plugged in but with no device attached to charge also continue to pull energy. Just switch off what your not using...pretty simple. Go watch dirty streaming and see how much a 2 sec vid actually costs the environment. I also plant trees, veg & flowers so I'm carbon neutral. | |||

"It is perfectly obvious, to anyone prepared to give it a little bit of real thought, what your point is, and I, for one, wholeheartedly agree. Those on here who complain that some of us are putting the Economy and western civilisation above loss of life, real, imagined or exaggerated, have really allowed the new Project Fear to cloud their judgment..... Who, I wonder, will be the first to complain about the cessation of all public services (the NHS, Defence, Education for example) because the Government, whoever it may be, has virtually no tax income to fund the said services? The devastation which we are bringing upon ourselves is too great to fully comprehend. Peter Hitchens seems to be a lone voice.... We, or to be more precise, our children will have to face unimagined hardship!! Those, like yourself, here who advocate for a full return to your 'normality' refer to project fear, yet that is also what you are creating. You provide no evidence and data,just rhetoric that only plays project fear at loud blast. That isn't enough to be evaluated seriously. " Still nowt! You couldn't make it up, it's that farcical | |||

"The fact that it is, indeed, a recognised term, does not make it less derogatory, of course! Failed States fail for a variety of underlying reasons, but there is a common thread in most cases of, in effect, paying themselves, in terms of the provision of services for their populace, more than their economy can sustain. The term "cutting one's cloth" springs to mind, and that isn't Economics, that is reasonable commonsense. Of course, there can be a "chicken and egg" debate, which is why I have no desire to debate Economic Theory.... it gets tiresome, as you are doubtless aware! " For someone who doesn't want to debate your doing a lot to justify your point. You are describing the economy like it's a company balance sheet. Yes it takes a balance approached but your argument is slowly shifting from it has to be one way only and job losses WILL HAPPEN to well actually their is two sides to the argument. This is conservative economic theory. They say there is no money for public spending but as soon as a crisis hits the "magic money tree" appears. Instead of attempt to argue with me an weaken your position further. Read around what I am saying and expand your view. I don't discredit your opinion but I don't think anyone can say with conviction "THIS AND ONLY THIS WILL HAPPEN" The economy is an recession and each recession is unique we have never seen anything like this in modern times | |||

"Who, I wonder, will be the first to complain about the cessation of all public services (the NHS, Defence, Education for example) because the Government, whoever it may be, has virtually no tax income to fund the said services?" Nobody need complain; if the government taxes the fuck out of the likes of you, to pay for it all. They can increase your council tax. They can tax your pension even further. They'll only need to do it for the few years that they transform the economy from what it was, into what it needs to be, creating new jobs in the process. Why not do all that? You got away largely unscathed by "Austerity"; where the poor and vulnerable had spending on them slashed, so that you could pay lower taxes and that your house would maintain most of its over-inflated price. It's your turn to cough up - the poor already did and they have no money left. Just because you don't like change, doesn't mean it's not an option. There's more than one way to run a successful economy - not just the one that suits you. | |||

"It will be what it will be... what if it's worse than the morbidity rate of covid-19? What's your point? You seem to have been against lockdown from the beginning. Over 350 have died again today...and all you seem to harp on about is bloody money for ducks sake
money allows people to buy healthy food
Tell that to the hundreds queueing up for kfc and Maccy D's" | |||

"Rather than taxation, treasury bonds (a fixed term investment) could raise funds but... I wonder what the Standard & Poors rating of UK Economy will be after Covid19. Who would want to buy UK Treasury bonds even if they would go cheap after this insanity? Resource rich countries might get a bargain (even if developed economies are using far less for the time being) and in future pull the strings like OPEC did to the world economy 50 years ago. Equity markets will be depressed for some time which will have an effect on savings and investments, possibly on pension funds (which scares me). How about a command economy? A Roosevelt style 'New Deal'? Enough rambling. 'We're all Doomed'
"Everything you have said is the complete opposite of how every major economy you have mentioned will react. UK bonds are over subscribe And taxation is used to pay back the interest on this borrowing not The recent crash in oil price to negative figures show opec has an abundant resource the world does need in the same volume it once did. Opec plus is done. These countries have left it to late to diversify away from the (banana republic) economies Equity markets are though the roof and almost back to pre covid levels All whilst America burns whith the scent of civil war in the air. Markets can stay irrational Longer than most people can stay solvent Once again nobody knows where this all heading past the next quarter results | |||

"Ye gods - "taxing the fuck out of the likes of you..." By what divine means have you been able to assess my own situation? I wish I had your omnipotence...! For your information, I neither own my own house nor ever have done;I am retired and get by on less than £1500 per month, with only PIP and state pension from the State. " You have still however not answered any questions put to you over how you formed this opinion you originally stated? | |||

Covid-19 - I'm presuming this is in reference to the suspected lab escapism. The queen - is not state funded for the most part, their money comes from tourism, speeches etc so the queen is in just as much of a state as many businesses and she can no longer demand it from her citizens. No idea about the case unless it's that she's from German routes not British therefore not a true British monarch or along those lines. Police - what we see as "public services" are no long "public services" they are Ltd, corporations or charities by law so they are businesses in their own right. I think, could be entirely wrong. full stops & commas would help with the reading | |||

"Wrong forum in my opinion for this topic " I'm not sure there's much solid content or theme. There's certainly a general lack of evidence and sound reasoning from the leads. The left-field way out there thinking, I guess I can call it thinking, traversing the weird and wonderful, is reminiscent of an infection upon another | |||
