This is more serious than most people think.

If everyone stays at home for 3 months, no work , nothing is made or sold. No one earns any money. Bills don't get paid, the whole economy stops. This is not a temporary pause in the economy and supply chain. It will not recover.

I understand the virus is real , but its either more serious than everyone is being told, Or the virus is being used as a smokescreen for something else ?
And i honestly don't know what that something else could be ?

Re the economy, if all industrial nations are on a par does it matter? Money/perceived value is all relative and would equal out accordingly. If your house value fell by 50% you might feel 'poorer' but are you really?

Value of property etc will become irrelevant.
The currency will become worthless.

Exactly, the problem would be if the UK was in this situation in isolation but we are not. The whole world faces the same reset so provided the lockdown contains the outbreak things could pick up in six months, and so long as people have a roof over their heads and aren't starving all should be well

Thatts the problem. Roof over your head and food in your mouth for 6 months , with no income to pay for anything just aint going to work .
I know as i have been laid off. I work in defence IT as a contractor. No one is hiring . Not even NATO . In about 8 weeks i will be unable to pay rent or bills for myself and my family . And the GOVs 'package of support measures' does not cover me in the slightest ..
