Edited by Badger11 (21 Mar 2020 7.05am) Over the whole of the S West (Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and parts of Wilts and Dorset) there are 140 registered cases - London alone has over 1200, so at a time when we are being told to keep a safe distance and self-isolate, why would Cornwall want a whole bunch of people 'moving in' from a high risk area to a region that has a higher than average proportion of elderly already?

That is only being paid to companies that keep on their staff and I guess that most restaurants and pubs will just lay off their staff so won't be able to claim. One of my sons is a chef and he expects to lose his job completely. Then there are the small companies where the directors pay themselves the bare minimum and take the rest in dividends as they will only get 80% of the bare minimum as it will have to be justified by Paye records My son was just about to start his 2nd season at a theme park. On returning home from a training day on Wednesday he received an email saying his contract was being changed to zero hours, if he did not agree he would have to advise them by 26th March (ie no agree no job). I am hoping this will now mean his initial contract should stand and he at least gets 80%. Any thoughts?

Sure me and some neighbours will be putting up barricades in our street, don't want the wrong types coming here. Shame because I heard Truro was such a lovely welcoming place.

I wouldn't say we are going on as normal. lots of shops are closed, the number of people around is way down. The Penryn ASDA is always choca, but the smaller ones are only a little busier.
