I dont see how it would be practical to follow the current "advice" for a year.
Business would collapse, and how would we afford to bail out the owners, the money has to come from taxes, and they are going to take a large hit if people have no jobs anymore etc to pay tax. People will get fed up, then angry, then the riots will start.
People keep comparing it to the "spirit of the war".
In the war period you still had pubs open, plays, concerts etc, you could still go out.
