We have become poorer, live with it

UNLESS you're in the trades of selling masks, surgical gloves, ventilators and supplying boxes for food deliveries, you could likely find yourself much poorer, like the rest of us.

And if you haven't had your pay docked, gone on unpaid leave or at least been asked to clear your annual leave, it only means you likely make up the demographic working in the civil service or for employers with excessively deep pockets.
