Cornonavirus: 
Wetherspoons boss says over the top to shut pubs
From-Sky News
The chain’s founder argues supermarkets are more crowded and claims there had “hardly been any transmission” of infection in pubs.
Shutting pubs over the coronavirus outbreak is “over the top” and they should stay open “for the duration”, Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin has told Sky News.
The chain’s founder and chairman argued that supermarkets were far more crowded and claimed there had “hardly been any transmission” of infection in pubs.
His comments came after the business saw a further dip in sales following Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s instruction for drinkers to stay at home to help curb the spread of COVID-19-the disease caused by coronavirus.
Mr Martin said: “Our aim is for pubs open for the duration. This could go on for a long time.
“I think that once you shut them down it’s very difficult.”
“Supermarkets are very, very crowded. Pubs are much less crowded. There’s hardly been any transmission of the virus within pubs and I think it’s over the top to shut them.
“That’s a commercial view but also a common sense view.”
Due to the uncertainly surrounding the coronavirus, JD Wetherspoon has cancelled its dividend and moved to reduce spending by delaying its capital projects.
Mr Martin and the group’s chief executive are also taking a 50% pay cut.
The group said that sales, which has risen by 3.2% in the six weeks to 8 March, fell by 4.5% the following week as the crisis escalated.
In the wake of Mr Johnson’s advice to avoid pubs, Mr Martin said sales slid “at a significantly higher rate”.
Mr Martin said his business was working with employees, banks, landlords and suppliers to “emerge from the situation in the best shape”
It came as Wetherspoon reported profit before tax rose 15% to £57.9m in the half-year to 26 January on revenue of £933m.
Mr Martin said: “As a result of this uncertainly, it is impossible to provide realistic guidance on our performance in the remainder of the financial year.”
However, he said based on the actions of the company and steps taken by the government to shore up businesses, the firm believed “it has sufficient liquidity to maintain operations at a substantially lower level of sales.

冠状病毒:Wetherspoon的老板说关闭酒吧“太过分了”。
该连锁店的创始人认为超市更加拥挤，并声叫作在酒吧里“几乎无任何传染”。
Wetherspoon的老板Tim Martin告诉天空资讯，因为冠状病毒爆发而关闭酒吧“太过分了”，她们应该“在全部时期”保持营业。
该连锁店的创始人兼董事长认为，超市里的人要多得多，酒吧里“几乎无任何传染”。
在他发布该言论之前，该机构的营销额显现了进一步的下滑。由于英国首相鲍里斯意见饮酒人士呆在家里，以帮忙掌控冠状病毒的传播。
Martin暗示:“咱们的目的是让酒吧这里时期营业。这能够（应该）连续很长一段时间。
“我认为一旦你关闭了它们，这一切将会变得很艰难（在这儿指酒吧的运营和利益方面的困难）。”
“超市里极其拥挤。酒吧就没那样拥挤了。酒吧里几乎无任何病毒的传播，我认为关闭酒吧太过分了。
这不仅是一种商场观点亦是一种常识。
因为冠状病毒的不确定性，JD Wetherspoon取消了股息，并经过推迟资本项目来减少支出。
马丁和首席执行官亦将减薪50%。
该集团暗示，在截止3月8日的六周内，营销额增长了3.2%，但在危险升级后的第二周，营销额下降了4.5%。
Martin暗示，在Johnson意见大众不要去酒吧之后，营销额下滑的速度显著增快。
Martin叫作，他的机构与员工，银行，房东和供应商合作，以最佳的状态摆脱困境。
与此同期，Wetherspoon报告叫作，在截止1月26日的半年时间里，该机构睡前利润增长15%，至5790万英镑，营收9.33亿英镑。
Martin暗示：“因为这种不确定性，咱们不可能对本财年剩余时间的业绩供给现实的指点。”
不外，他暗示，基于机构的行动和政府采取的提振业务办法，机构认为“它有足够的（业务和资金）流动性，能够将业务维持在较低的营销水准。”<img src="https://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_gif/wTXzNXXhpcp5klFINlRdehSKdOVNU6NIBZsib2OVkNhpaQxjBMZLFDLiaLUzpuPHial5klQLFnEKT7RLGnvqCJLRw/640?wx_fmt=gif&tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1" style="width: 50%; margin-bottom: 20px;">
