It can't continue for months and months as some suggest - the magic money tree is not printing money but IOU's and they are underwritten on our ability to pay them back which won't happen if all business collapses, then they become worthless bits of paper and we end up with an economy similar to that of Bolivia or some other SA country!
It's all about lives, saving lives we are told, well it is all about the economy imho and the governments main source of income - taxation, has all but dried up, it is our taxes that pay for our NHS/Fire/Police etc, taxes will pay for the vaccines and PPE and the infrastructure that support them
We will be back at work by the beginning of May imho
