In truth risk is extremely low outdoors unless you are sharing a van / truck to get there. Stopped our garden / landscape guy last week - I can do his job now we're about to be locked down, income took a hammering as I work for myself and getting ready for lockdown (i.e. buying 3+ months' worth of DIY materials, fencing, tools, paint etc etc up-front for all the jobs I'll hopefully now have time to do) has cost me a small fortune. Felt shit for him but we're all getting shafted by this thing and sadly he can't be trusted to do jobs without being supervised regularly.

For me, how to handle this depends on if you are still earning and likely to continue doing so. I'm WFH, and even as a Ltd Company, likely to carry on doing so, so I'm paying our cleaner even though we've told her not to come. Between cancelled holidays refunds and days I'll now charge for WFH when I would have been abroad, I'm about £8k up.

If you're not earning, however, you've got no choice but to stop paying for things you don't have to, but the effect on cleaners/gardeners etc is going to be devastating ?
 
We're extra busy in work but had to go on shift work for social distancing ,3 days 12hr shift groups of 4 people. I'm up €150.. can't work from home.. .

That's why I'd rather not accept any vouchers.

BA were trying to get people to accept vouchers in the first instance but whilst it's unlikely they'd go under, they certainly could (nothing surprises me anymore). Plus it was a lot of money I'd rather have back!

In a similar predicament with Norwegian who are continuously touted to be going under.

4-weeks until scheduled departure, gonna wait it out a little longer
 
Have been working from home for a good while now and am expecting to be "furloughed" at ~£2.5k per month from April 1st but we can weather this better than most with our offset mortgage and no children ... First planned foreign trips are June (Barcelona) and then July (Ibiza) but not expecting these to take place and will be cheaper to lose flights and little bit of Ibiza accomadtion we have paid as deposit (private) rental than to actually go and spend ... Still hopeful that October 1st arrival in Ibiza is a go-er ...

IMO the white isle's magic has a number of factors, the weather, the pools, the beaches play a massive part the clubbing is just the initial attraction. you can go anywhere in the world for great clubs now I don't see how a winter season would work

but that's just my opinion
