Korona-thread

I just read that, due to the corona-situation, almost no planes flying and people driving less cars, etc, the need for oil is so reduced that those owning oil are paying money to get rid of it. Especially Texas-oil; they paid $40 a barrel to get rid of their oil, because their storages are filled. Still not that crazy with North-Sea-oil, but crazy still.

Hey all, hope you and those you know are all keeping well, particularly John and Jorn. Good work with the horn and finger Steve, sounds like you had influenza which can be as bad as covid.
I work on national health statistics and I had to work a 60-hour week for the first time at the start of the month. Thankfully work has calmed down now and I've got today off as a swap for working Sunday. I'm lucky I can work at home, I feel really bad for the people who have to go out to work with infected patients, especially where they don't have protective equipment. One good thing here is for employees who would have been made redundant, the government is paying 80% of their wages up to a maximum of £2,500 per month (about £1,900 after tax). But March was a mess, the government told people not to go to pubs, but didn't order pubs to close, so pubs couldn't claim on their insurance, so pubs stayed open, so people kept going.
