If you are applying rocket science to how you deal with this virus, it explains why you think this is such a straight forward nut to crack. If you're a rocket scientist, that is.
You may delude yourself that mankind will always beat nature, but nature has a way of proving us wrong.

Old Boy I really think you should go for a lie down.
I've clearly outlined that I think the state should support people's incomes, and pointed out that this supports the underlying economy that we will inevitably return to in due course.
If you aren't willing, or are unable, to understand that at a macroeconomic level states can bankroll projects and investment in a way that you cannot as an individual then the conversation will continue to go around in circles.
I'm sure you understand that describing something as 'not rocket science' is a common turn of phrase to indicate that something is not as difficult to do as others suggest.
I'm completely unsure where your last sentence comes from. It's almost as if you want the virus to 'win' in some perverse way.
Can I just ask OB have you go investments that you were intending to cash in on in the next 12-36 months? It's really the only reason why I can understand your impassioned, if at times incomprehensible, sales pitch that we are all inevitably doomed so we should return to our minimum wage jobs to survive our last few months on this earth.
