Eldorado Posted March 8, 2021 #2090 Share Posted March 8, 2021 The UK’s goods exports slumped by £54bn in 2020 and Britain lost market share to its main competitors as Covid-19 hammered global trade, according to new research published this morning. The findings, from Aston University’s Lloyd’s Banking Group Centre for Business Prosperity, showed that Britain suffered a 14.7 per cent drop in goods exports, one of the largest of any major country in 2020, and also saw a slower recovery as other nations gobbled up market share in key export destinations. Goods exports including cars, oil and gas, machinery and pharmaceuticals all tumbled as the pandemic battered economies worldwide and supply chains broke down.

Eldorado Posted March 10, 2021 #2098 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Covid has led to an epidemic of eating disorders With community services difficult to access, more people are getting sicker and are reaching a point of crisis. Their illnesses are getting worse because they’ve not been able to get the early treatment that is crucial to combatting an eating disorder. The sicker they become the more likely it is they’ll need inpatient care and potentially life-saving treatment. Sadly, we are already seeing this in services. New data from one provider collaborative in the south of England shows there’s been a 20 per cent increase in the number of adult emergency referrals and a doubling in the waiting time for urgent care from 33 to 67 days since the pandemic. There’s also been a fourfold rise in the number of young people waiting for urgent care and a 129 per cent increase in those needing routine treatment compared to this time last year.
