The NHS will be screwed and there’ll be no liquidity in the system because anyone that has any money will have pulled it out.

A collapsed economy will cause more direct and indirect deaths than this virus could ever hope to achieve.
I think you worry about your investments too much. Loss of lives and a prolonged epidemic/shutdown will also collapse the economy. The preservation of life must always come first.
