Some are shut some are not. My husband is still going to work every day and my business is still bsuy. It very much depends on the industry and the rules in your country now. In the UK the government are paying employees 80% of their wage if they cam't work due to the virus/lockdown. 

The environment is doing very well out of this, the economy, not so much.

What happens when everyone comes out again? and how are people getting food etc? I am hearing some rumours that aren't good.

The new help announced may help you, but it seems comapny directors get gthe rawest deal, or if you have poor profits for the last 3 years (like me as this year is by far my best but won't count). I ma finding ways to push on and still make money like  CV course in my case. Hope you can get help. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52052123

Hahaha that's the first time I've laughed in days. Thanks Barney!

But at least we have you Barney, our resident ray of sunshine....

The media has run with the scaremongering headlines and I was the first person to dismiss it all as overreaction. 

However, seeing what has happened in Italy and the now official pandemic declaration it is something we need to take seriously.

Many countries are already in lockdown so it is now inevitable that the UK will need to do this at some point.

Can you run your business from home? I'm lucky that I can and it's really all online. But are you making any changes to plan?

If schools shut I predict a lot of late nights for me! 

What will you do? 

I don't think I would be getting 4-5 leads a day from social media if I was only on there 30 mins!! That's not long enough for me. 

So the situation isn't improving and it'll get worse before it gets better. Look out for your elderly relatives. 

It sure is. Stocks and shares are falling rapidly and maybe businesses who have factories in China are in big trouble. Who knows what will happen if the UK is badly hit... But hopefully it'll calm down soon. 

It's not good news unless you sell hand sanitizer!
