It's hard to see where Jet 2 go from here, there will be no summer holiday market this year. Can they survive on zero income until the winter, make it through the winter low season and last until the next high season in summer 2021? You would think they will need government assistance to do so.
Unfortunately however, we are stuck with the least competent UK government in living memory. Sadly a lot of older British people voted for their own deaths at the last General election, and indeed in the Brexit vote. There was just no telling them otherwise.
If the Government were serious about protecting the vulnerable in society they would be announcing a full Spanish style shutdown TODAY. Instead business and other organisations are having to take a lead by cancelling events as the government are not up to the task. By the time they close the gate next week or later the horse will have bolted. There are only 5,000 ventilators in the UK for 67 million people.
67.5 million people
80% infection
2% death rate or higher due to government failures and 10 years of austerity and cutbacks
=more than a million deaths.
