    Sadly I suspect you are correct to be skeptical. These things just seem to happen around when he’s around.

    Let’s have a look at the financial sector. Many families will be in financial trouble as members can’t work.

    The big banks have not passed on the lower interest rates to mortgage holders yet - 0.1%!

    The cost of short term loans (three years) has risen. The cheapest personal loan rates have been withdrawn.

    Overdraft fees are set to quadruple to 40% on 6 April, just when many people will really need an overdraft.

    Credit card rates remain at an average of 20%, a temporary cut in these (0.5% has been suggested, still 500% of the base rate) might be a lifeline to many.

    Many people are going to come out of this in even more debt than they are in now.

    Man I hate these ****ers, the ones we bailed out after they ****ed everything up through greed, incompetence and corruption.

    Not much use if you’re on a fixed rate either though mortgage holidays are available at least.

    I was listening to the business news yesterday and the bloke said it has taken 12 years to get back into this position after the 2008 financial crash and all that work has been wiped out in the last 2 weeks?

    Trump hinting that he might loosen restrictions next week, against all medical advice, because the damage to the economy is too much.

    I think in a federal system the State governments can ignore him to a certain extent and set their own rules.

    Sounds like New York are all over it in terms of testing and have a very high infection rate officially, probably due to the quantity of tests. You can bet for every ****ing moron in some ****hole here there are 100 there so Texas is probably just getting on with it.

    I’ve not looked at the odds but would still back him. If we had an election tomorrow where everyone could vote from home I bet Boris would win by a mile.

    Without the virus I think Trump would have won but give it three weeks and compare the death rates and the economy will pale into insignificance as his stupidity will be highlighted (although there's no shortage of examples)...

    Hope you’re right. Honestly reckon it’ll just lose him support where he’s unpopular and the dross towns will be too scared to vote for a “leftie” even more than usual when the economy has had the arse ripped out of it. Something about the dollar being strong etc etc we hate China etc etc Make America Even Greater Again etc etc

    I'm sure all our US political experts will be able to call this. Like most I class myself as an expert because I once went on a holiday to DisneyLand and watched 5 episode of friends.
    I know Trump is evil because someone on line says he is. I now want Binden because someone on line says he is good! Now it's time for me to do the two step. :1980_boogie_down:
