HFF Everyone! The greyness is a reflection of my current mood!

HFF Everyone! The greyness is a reflection of my current mood!
Until yesterday I gave 4 Business English classes a week at the tall white tower. Now nothing until further notice - and the same at my other in - company classes all around Madrid. No classes, no pay. A problem to say the least. I suggested remote classes by Skype for Business, Zoom, even WhatsApp but the answer was 'no'. I suspect they are very scared about the financial impact and are trimming their sails accordingly. Business English classes are the first to be cancelled in such times.

My alma mater will be conducting all classes remotely by video for the rest of the semester for fear of the virus.

I have recommended video classes but only a few accept. Something to do with FUNDAE rules (European Union training support)

Not good Andy! The effects of this pandemic are far reaching - I'm sorry to hear that you are being disadvantaged in this way.

An early HFF to you. Take care my friend.

~~~Thank you everyone for your understanding. I was being a little bit selfish - this is a worldwide issue and problem. Today I manged to rescue some classes through Webex or Google Hangouts, Zoom etc, ~~~

So sorry... I was going to send you a message after hearing the news on tv... and decided to see if you had published anything before doing so.
No, you are not selfish, it is normal to be preocupied when one is not paid, it is human: we need food and shelter and that means earn our living.
Glad with your message above, hope this will soon be over and we can go back to normal.

Yes I did wonder if this coronavirus would affect you - I see that the Spanish Government are considering closing off Madrid and other cities - so maybe that's why you have been postponed. You're not selfish at all, Andy - it must be a great worry to have - how are you going to pay your rent/mortgage, bills and food money - I'm very pleased to hear that you have at least managed to hold onto some lessons. I do hope it doesn't last too long for you though. I can see lots of walks on the Cabrera for you!!!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
Thank you, Jenny but we are all confined to our homes now.. No walk in the hills for me! We can go to the (food) shops, bank and chemist's ... and that's just about it. The police and army are patrolling the streets to stop anyone just going out for a walk!

Jenny McIntyre club has replied to Andy Rodker club
You have got to be joking - what damage can you do by going for a walk? We're allowed to do this here, but not get within 6ft of anyone. I will be lucky having a large garden to wander in and take pictures, so I will do that, so you can enjoy spring from afar!
