They may not have the luxury of failure but they may not have the skill set to succeed either. The global economy is trashed already because of an inability, or unwillingness, to take the required measures quickly.
A successful economy relies on consumers being confident. Death, illness and job instability for those in positions that barely qualify as employment creates zero confidence.
I should point out “Work if you can, spend if you can” directly contradicts UK Government advice and is an extremely, extremely reckless suggestion. It will only extend this epidemic if people continue to ignore the advice to stay in, have as little human contact as possible.
