Something I should say more often

This is basically our strategy. Govt has pledged to cover 80% of wages up to £2500 (approx $3000) to stop businesses laying off their staff. Assuming an average of £2000 each for 30 million people over three months, that's £180b. A financial package to support the self employed is yet to be announced. If we can keep the economic cost under a trillion, we're doing well. That's around half our GDP.

I like how this functions somewhat like a test. I'll be watching difference in outcome between UK and US.
