Why post this doomsday twaddle, who does it help?
Noone said anything about doomsday, lovely.
This is a discussion forum and the present state of the economy is the question.
Presently, that economy has been put in a cryogenic freeze. The problem is that this has never before been done and there is no established defrost manual.
Just have a think about how many times a single £ circulates in the economy in a year, from road worker, to corner shop, to electrician, to auto mechanic, to cleaner, to clothes shop, to hairdresser's, to vegetable shop etc etc as it gets exchanged, spent, around the local economy, and how many times the government is able to take, take and retake a cut of that circulation, each spend, in tax.
That £ now sits in an isolating person's pocket. That tax, tax and retax isn't happening. That repeated taxing as the cash circulates is how we directly fund and indirectly raise money in the international markets to fund the NHS, police, roads etc.
That's why this is bigger than the virus.
