All service charges, council tax, mortgages or rent etc should be frozen and paid for by the gov if unable to pay raised dept charges later. You can't get blood from a stone.

What if it is and the delivery driver is sick and still working because he has no sick days?

I don't see any problem as long as you wash your hands as instructed after putting what he/she has delivered away.
 
Will the councils and services still be demanding rent and money when no one can work to earn because sick pay will not cover the bills.

I get full sick pay and assumed anyone working full time would am i a minority here?
 
What I am finding is I know whats going on all over the world, the only thing I know here is wash your hands and don't panic buy, the answer to Nige's post is what the Danish government are doing, paying 75% of salarys the firm pays 25% you must take a week of your annual leave and nobody gets sacked this will then be reviewed on the 1st of June,

Yeah I suppose it's possible. Everything has to be paid for by someone though. This country is already massively in debt. Borrow more?

The Danish have a low level of debt and their citizens pay a high level of tax. You really think we can afford that here?
 
What does this mean?
Well I'm self employed and doubt work will be available, we pay rent and everything else so won't be able to pay everything. My thoughts are councils etc will either put alot in debt and attempt to claw things back later but low paid working families won't be able to pay things back.

How many members work but wouldn't get full sick pay for the two weeks self isolating.

I forgot about the self employed, i assume they have some plans for this as the only alternative would be infected people desperate for work carrying on as normal (if work was available) and spreading the virus.

I'm not sure that the financial hardship issue is just about sick pay. I've got friends who are in lines of business from waitering to flying a plane that are very concerned about their livelihoods
 
Well I've already lost work now, the construction industry will collapse for private small traders, even office and industry work will be the last things on people minds.
 
People are warned not to flush wet wipes and kitchen roll down the loo if they are affected by a shortage of toilet paper during the coronavirus outbreak.

Thames Water is urging its customers to help reduce the risk of sewer blockages as shoppers face the prospect of empty shelves in supermarkets when they go to buy toilet rolls.

The water and wastewater services provider said many supermarkets in the country have reported running out of toilet paper as shoppers buy in bulk as a result of the pandemic.
