That’s literally how supply and demand works in competitive markets.
No one was saying they can take that kind of hit for a sustained period of several years.

But in between lockdowns when there was trading with restrictions, I witnessed lots of innovation. The pandemic was predicted to last a year or two ( based on initial vaccine predictions).

My point being that by using their savings, taking grants, loans, hopefully help with tax/rates etc with reduced revenue many businesses could probably just about get through, but no revenue at all? That’s a much tougher prospect.
