Really sad although expected and much worse to come it's feared once the furlough scheme is ended soon.

I fear for older workers than those in their 30s now losing their jobs.
I mean people in their late 40s and 50s.
Who may find other opportunities not available to them either.

I don't envy any government now charged with trying to rebuild not only the economy but also the whole social elements of society from care to everything else.

I hope, this lot are up to the challenge.
Because this is the next massive test to them.
I'll hold my thoughts in as to if I think they will be up to it.

I'm trying to visualise too, towns and cities, where businesses are now just giving up and closing.

It's not just the loss of lives cost and the devastating grief of loved ones losing their family and friends that this hateful virus has affected.

It's also going to be those in what was their work and building their futures who now losing their jobs, pride and dignity, who will also suffer massively from the legacy of this virus.
