I watched the Press Conference and thought that the response to the crisis was measured and well thought out based on the known rather than speculation . I very rarely take these sort of scares such as Swine Flu /Avian Flu / Ebola seriously but the whole situation is becoming increasingly worrying for myself as a 70 year old with athsma.
I also feel sorry for those coming up to retirement as the value of their pensions has fallen dramatically in the last two weeks.I have one SIPP untaken which has fallen in value over 15% in the last week.
Increasingly I am concerned for those in the gig economy and the self employed who will be out of work very soon and even those in employment are going to suffer because supply chains are falling apart.
Going to get a LOT worse before it gets better.
