There are three types of companies in terms of debt. For example:

 

a) Any company with good cash reserves and minimal to medium debt is re-negotiating the existing moratorium period of their loan or have requested for a moratorium from their bank or consortium of lenders. The smarter companies are reducing salaries and incentives instead of letting people go; as in the long term it is more expensive hire new staff and train them (especially in specialised sectors).

 

b) Many debt free companies are neither cutting salaries or letting go of their employees, but, they have removed any incentives and bonuses for the foreseeable future.

 

 

c) Any company which is over leveraged is SOL and will need a white knight financier or investor. People in these companies will be let go; i.e Oyo, Uber, Ola, many in the textile industry, infrastructure companies.

 

This is The Great Recession; something our grandkids will be learning about in their history books and as a case study in their economics module.

 

Can we create a seperate thread to help people who have been impacted by the current situation? The help can be either providing financial assistance, advise i.e on their loans, EMI, etc., or putting them in touch with a contact who may be willing to hire people who have lost their jobs. 

true sh*t man :cheers:

@Right - Not sure of your scene, but having to go down to collect stuff may be a building / society mandate.

 

I have to go to our buildings main gate to pick orders up because the security won't let deliveries in. If your are unable to do that for whatever reasons (senior citizen, etc) the security takes delivery and gets it to you I think.

same here, no one other than society residents, security and sanitation, thats it.

Same here. I am really thankful to Trump and his sh*t policies that my extension was rejected and I had to come back. Else I would have been there, working in NYC and living in NJ, both corona hotspots. It would have been a nightmare living there.

Earlier this morning I went to buy some medicines for my father (for high blood sugar, cholesterol etc.). The chemists we usually buy from didn't have any and we had to to wander around the city and check at 3-4 more before we found these medicines. I don't know how well medicine production and all related supply chains are operating right now but government needs to ensure that there is no effect on them due to lockdown.

Later went to a kirana store and was surprised and happy to see that fresh bread is arriving daily now. Unforunately baking ingredients like yeast, baking soda/powder, etc. weren't available so any baking plans in the immediate future would have to be put on hold.

 

 

 

Try delivery apps like 1mg, Pharmeasy and Wellness Forever. I ordered medicines for my parents through these apps. Now we have stock for 1 more month.

Dude I saw that yesterday and genuinely couldnt believe it. 

 

I really dont know what is worse. That she said it, immediately denied she said it and then proceeded to say it again. Or that she offered up people in her area as test subjects to die. Or when asked would she do the risky jobs, she said she has a family. 

 

f**king hell. 

 

Unchecked American Capitalism is a f**king plague.

After a string of people testing positive around him, Jitendra Awhad had quarantined himself despite testing negative for the virus. A week later, on Tuesday, he checked himself in a hospital for precautionary check-up and was tested positive on Thursday.

First trial for potential Covid-19 drug shows it has no effect

Quote

Remdesivir, a drug thought to be one of the best prospects for treating Covid-19, failed to have any effect in the first full trial, it has been revealed. The drug is in short supply globally because of the excitement it has generated. It is one of the drugs Donald Trump claimed was “promising”. In a “gold standard” trial of 237 patients, some of whom received remdesivir while others did not, the drug did not work. The trial was also stopped early because of side-effects. News of the failure was posted on a World Health Organization clinical trials database, but later removed. A WHO spokesman said it had been uploaded too soon by accident.

The first human trial in Europe of a coronavirus vaccine has begun in Oxford

Quote

Two volunteers were injected, the first of more than 800 people recruited for the study. Half will receive the Covid-19 vaccine, and half a control vaccine which protects against meningitis but not coronavirus. The design of the trial means volunteers will not know which vaccine they are getting, though doctors will. Elisa Granato, one of the two who received the jab, told the BBC: "I'm a scientist, so I wanted to try to support the scientific process wherever I can." The vaccine was developed in under three months by a team at Oxford University.

 

Sarah Gilbert, professor of vaccinology at the Jenner Institute, led the pre-clinical research. "Personally I have a high degree of confidence in this vaccine," she said. "Of course, we have to test it and get data from humans. We have to demonstrate it actually works and stops people getting infected with coronavirus before using the vaccine in the wider population."

 

Prof Gilbert previously said she was "80% confident" the vaccine would work, but now prefers not to put a figure on it, saying simply she is "very optimistic" about its chances.
