Is Sikora, Karl the right wing cancer specialist from that made up University who is the go to guy for the BBC broadcasters when they need an "expert" on Epidemiology and The Covids?

If you don't think Covid's that bad and we should just get on with it already, you've definitely retweeted The Good Doctor. More false predictions than Russell Grant.

He is, it's the framing of himself as the go-to guy on Coronavirus that grinds though
He's certainly put together a decent grift by posting good news stories that get shared. Because your average Richard doesn't know what Oncology or Epidemiology are they just think "Oh science man say things good"

thanks.
I sort of nodded sagely at his comments that government messaging and restrictions had resulted in a certain percentage drop in cancer diagnosis. And that there's a risk of a cure being worse than the disease. But I figured that such things would be considered by SAGE/government when they made decisions.

So, we now have Dishy Rishi's winter economy plan. Any thoughts? I did wonder at the hidden depth behind his comment that the UK was "likely to undergo a more permanent economic adjustment."
Instead of the current furlough scheme, affected workers may have to accept 77% of their salary, but only work a third of their usual time for six months. But, if I've understood it right, that will require their employer and government to cover the difference between a third and the 77%
The business loans changes make sense, as otherwise there's a risk that they'll never get repaid.
But I'm not sure how much any of this, including the VAT cuts will help the hospitality sector. I can see things getting brutal after the New Year.

Martin Lewis explains the job retention offer pretty clearly:

Yep - potentially employers paying 56% of an employees salary for 33% of their usual hours. This will defer some (most?) of the pain from pre Xmas until the new year, I agree.Dunners wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 2:48 pm So, we now have Dishy Rishi's winter economy plan. Any thoughts?

More importantly, why do people call him dishy rishy? He always reminds me of plug from the bash street kids.

Unfortunately I can see plenty of employers opting for redundancies instead. f*** this us going to be awful.

I dont understand the new scheme at all. They'll pay a small amount of somebodys wage, but only if they drastically reduce their hours?
Re: Coronavirus

The employer pays for whatever hours are worked but has to be at least 1/3 of normal.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 3:04 pm I dont understand the new scheme at all. They'll pay a small amount of somebodys wage, but only if they drastically reduce their hours?
Whatever isn't paid is shared 3 ways - the employer, the Govt and the employee.
If an employee works 50% hours, he'll be paid 83% of his usual money - 67% by the employer and 17% by Govt, suffering 17% loss himself (Apologies to Spen for rounding).

Some self employed guys have been legitimately raking it in as well.
The whole thing has been a huge clusterfuck.
