All restaurants, pubs, clubs, cafes & entertainment venues will be temporarily closed as we fight this virus.
(2/2) I appreciate and understand that this is very difficult moment for business owners and workers across the country and we are here to support you - whatever it takes.
3. These measures will be in place for 14 days and then reviewed to consider their effectiveness

We will work with businesses to find new ways of trading - takeaway & delivery will continue due to emergency changes to the law & these options will be available to all businesses
4. This applies to the following businesses:

🔹Food & drink venues
🔹Pubs, bars and clubs
🔹Cinemas, theatres, concert and bingo halls
🔹Spas, indoor leisure and gyms
🔹Casinos & betting shops

🔹We will introduce emergency legislation to suspend new evictions from social or private rented accommodation during this national emergency.

🔹No new possession proceedings through applications to the court will start during the crisis. bit.ly/2x9P2C9
🔹Landlords will also be protected as 3 month mortgage payment holiday is extended to Buy to Let mortgages.

🔹These changes will protect all renters and private landlords ensuring everyone gets the support they need at this very difficult time.
🔹The government is clear – no renter who has lost income due to coronavirus will be forced out of their home, nor will any landlord face unmanageable debts.

🔹We will do whatever is needed to help people across the country during this national emergency.

1. I have written to the Mayor of London today to make clear that housing delivery in London under his mayoralty has been deeply disappointing.

It falls far short of what the people of London, expect, deserve and need.

gov.uk/government/pub…
2. While other Mayors, such as in the West Midlands, have gripped their local need for housing & recognised the opportunities this brings, London has fallen behind the rest of the country due to a lack of ambition from City Hall.
3. Hard working people are paying the price for this poverty of ambition.

As a result, I have no option but to exercise my powers to direct changes before he is allowed to proceed with adopting his London Plan.

2. Our aim is to:

🛥 Establish Freeports as national hubs for global trade & investment across the UK.

🔹Promote regeneration & job creation.

🔹Create hotbeds for innovation.
3. We want Freeports to boost trade, jobs & investment.

We are exploring the use of planning measures to speed up planning processes & accelerate development & housing delivery in & around Freeports to provide homes that are right for local workers.

Social insurance in a time of pandemic:

A proposal for the government to act as buyer of last resort

Some notes by Emmanuel Saez and me: gabriel-zucman.eu/files/coronavi…

And short thread [1/6]
👇👇👇
Social distancing measures, essential to fight the epidemic, are sharply reducing demand in many sectors.

The direct output losses threaten the survival of many businesses with insufficient liquidity and may lead to mass layoffs. [2/6]
We consider a new form of social insurance, one that directly targets and works through businesses.

If the government replaces the demand that evaporates, each business can keep paying its workers and maintain its capital stock, as under business as usual. [3/6]

The German government pulled out a big "liquidity bazooka" today in response to the economic challenges of #Covid_19 . It's volume is huuuuge!

Here're the details:
bundesfinanzministerium.de/Content/DE/Pre…

But one shouldn't think of this program as a stimulus, but as an insurance package /Thread
Key problem in 🇩🇪 is still exponential growth of new infections. Daily growth rates exceed 20%. If this continues, the health system will run into serious trouble very soon.

To address this, Angela Merkel has yesterday asked Germans to "keep social interactions to a minimum" /2
As a first priority, the bazooka includes a "whatever it takes" for the national health system.

1 bn € was released immediately, but hospitals can ask for as much money they need to build up facilities for intensive care, testing, etc.

That's the right choice... /3

/ A THREAD on social distancing for the rest of us 👇

Why we shouldn’t be afraid of it, why it’s important, what it could look like, what WE can do TODAY to start

It’s much better to move forward w this in a calm, orderly way instead of lockdowns all over the place

#Covid19
2/ Why?
We need our healthcare system working. All of us,all the time, whether or not we think we are at risk with #Covid19

We love our families & friends & want to help keep them safe.

We want to resume ‘normal’ life ASAP after crisis is over. That means minimizing damage now
3/ Why? (cont)

Who here wants their local officials making terrified, panicky knee-jerk reactions -that may be counterproductive- because all hell is breaking loose and they feel like they need to do “something” *RIGHT NOW*

Not me that’s for sure. I know a lot of them 😉

A really heartbreaking sight. The sacrifices from health workers in China have been immense.
This is the context of that video, reportedly related to the death of hospital director Liu Zhiming.
This is making the rounds, claiming to be Chinese escaping the country into Vietnam. I'm almost certain that it is misrepresented, and that this is not true.
