oh Icy,,, it also helps the child care centres stay open

Of course it does, and I have no problem with it!

But is it an essential industry? Seeing so many businesses have been closed down and staff thrown onto welfare? So many told to stay home and not go out unless necessary?

So how many would still need childcare, if they're alreay staying home? Like...wouldn't they be able to look after their kids if they were staying home?

I mean...we've had so much derision about hairdressers and carwashes...

Yeah LOL is all you got!

The government are doing a lot to keep people in jobs, and keep essential workers, working.

They have already said, they were concerned when schools closed down, the essential workers (like nurses), would have 

to stay home and take care of the children.

Now, thanks to the free child care, they can work, and keep their jobs,  while their children are being looked after in child-care centres.

Normal costs for childcare is very expensive. The children would normally be at school, and now they aren't. They are being home-schooled mostly. 

Just watched the sunday program here.

China first told the world Corona Virus could not be transfered by human to human.

The Chinese Doctor that told the internet it could be tranfered is missing, no one knows where she is

They have lied over and over about how many people have died in China

China let 5 Million people leave china after they knew about the Virus.

Trump said only one chinese person had bought the Virus to America and people had nothing to worry about it was all in hand.

Those 5 Mil People traveled through out the world from China.

Trump still thinks China did the right thing, history will not be kind to these 2 Men

It's things like this that get to you, stuff Cruise Ships
