Covid 19.

[Sandy]

Day 2 back at level 2 and we had no new cases as of 1,00 p.m. yesterday, no more deaths either.. Yesterday was budget day here, as a result the governments spending billions of dollars it doesn't have to try and supposedly soften the blow if something like Covid 19 should happen again, health was the biggest winner, the countries hospitals got something like $10 billion or slightly more..

If I heard correctly, those on welfare will be getting an extra $25 a week, considering everyone on benefits and pensions need a 47% increase to catch up with the minimum wage, or get close to iy, $25 a week falls well short of the mark..

They're also supposedly setting up a fund ready for if something like Covid 19 happens again, that way there's money in the kitty to pay the businesses to pay staffs wages and help the business owners pay their bills while the countries in lockdowm, if I find any news items about the budget that relates to this I'll post the link/s here, better that than my trying to explain it seeing I'm not to clear on the facts at present.. It seems that for a little country od 5 million people, the governments looking at finding over $20 billion from somewhere which to me adds up to a load of devt..
