It's also exactly why the inflation is going to continue and your money will continue to lose value. Every government that can think more than one step ahead probably already realizes whats about to happen in April for the masses of children with obese and older parents with their boatloads of preexisting conditions.

They announced no VAT for such business, am i going to make a fuck load of money this year? Or will i be except for having such a good profit due to all of the influx?

How?
The markets don't even know how to react to this yet. the GBP is stable.

On one hand it ensures little layoffs, and if this al lends fast, the economy can pick up fast. additionally, people are still going to be able to spend as if nothing has changed. the economy the UK has taken long to grow may come off with little damage (people keep jobs, business pick up after).

This could in fact give the certainty the markets want.

Even if this costs a trillion pounds (£15,000 for every man, woman and child in the country), that'll only be a 50% increase in the national debt for a country that already has quite a low debt-to-GDP compared to many others.

It's not likely to be that bad.
I'm going to say they'll only end up paying people for March and April. May MAYBE.

There will be cuts elsewhere, but the reduction in Government spending while this is ongoing will also be of a help. if it prevents people losing jobs and businesses going, and also maintains spending, its worth doing.

They will likely do some QE later though, after the fact.

bullshit. its a matter of forecasting capacity. if your company works well for a couple months and some big gigs are in the pipeline, then you go and hire extra people. your forecast is a revenue increase of 5% and workload increase of 20%. now guess what, one of those big gigs pulls out last second but you have already hired two extra workers. now what? fire them immediately? could become a PR nightmare if you do this repeatedly. once your company is know for "hire and fire" you will have a problem getting real talent. this is how "artifical" jobs are created.

There are plenty of "non-essential" jobs that aren't necessary during an extreme situation, eg virus outbreak, however, convenience and recreational industries are a mark of the first world for a reason.
For example, I work at a senior day care center. Taking care of elderly people with dementia, ambulatory issues, etc. without moving them from their homes. That's not "essential", but it's important to many caregivers.

You greatly underestimate how long this is going to last. Until a vaccine is created, or until herd immunity is achieved, these measures will be in place for at least the rest of the year. Maybe more. Although they may be relaxed at times to allow the economy to tick over while keeping the infection curve flattened below acceptable levels.

Plus, it isn't just about direct expenses. A slowed economy will slow tax receipts, meaning extra borrowing is also required for day-to-day government spending. I can see it adding at least a trillion pounds to the national debt. Probably more.

It will be relaxed and increased more locally as we go on. Tests will help identify local outbreaks, and the antibody test will confirm if people can return to work or travel without the ability to spread it anymore.
antiviral drugs are already here, and a vaccine is pretty much the last thing but its coming.

The curve has bee flattened by these measures already in other countries. You OVERestimate the economic impact after maybe one more month. Things will trickle back to normal with only slight disruptions as they get a stronger grip on it as said above.

Only third world shitholes will still be dealing with it a year from now in a big way, which will have travel bans to and from for a long time.
Italy will peak next week and then level or decline. Most of Europe within 2 weeks after that will do the same. No country will be hit as bad as Italy.

We will still see the measures and effects for a while but it wont be this level of disruption or close before long. I'd say early May latest.

>bullshit. its a matter of forecasting capacity

Artificial is the wrong word. Unnecessary is more like it. Think of civilization like a tree, branching outward. The trunk is the core industry, like our farming, logistics, gas and oil industry, basic manufacturing, defense (which can double as police), shit we can't live without. The branches fractal outward and as they grow smaller you get more and more bullshit that in the grand scheme of things are really unnecessary. Think dog walkers, VR cafes, Grub Hub, shit that fills a niche pretty much everyone can do without which probably describes HALF of all jobs in America or more.

So our civilization experiences a violent retraction due to an unforeseen event - this virus - and retracts back to the trunk and the largest branches, which represent the distribution points like gas stations and grocery stores. The longer we go without reconnecting the smaller, unnecessary bullshit jobs to our greater civilization the more they will wither and fall away, since people can do without them and people are gonna be hurting for money. Even if the government gives everyone money the supply chain will still be limited, money will be inflated and so turning the economy "back on" might not go smoothly. It might not even work at all. They turned the economy off without thinking if they would be able to turn it back on.

Small-minded mentality. Look outside of your little box and think a little bit.
Your distribution centre is fulfilling orders, and those orders are received via some kind of computer system. If that system (or any of its dependent components like network access) goes down you won't have any work to do and your company will go bankrupt.
The people that built those computer systems (and ensure they keep running) are mostly working from home, getting paid a lot more than you, and providing a lot more value to the economy.

Well you have no idea what you're talking about then, and also contradict pretty much all scientists in the field.

This virus won't just magically disappear. It spread across the world like wildfire from only a handful of people in a market in Wuhan. It only takes ONE person to still have coronavirus when containment is relaxed to start off a second wave that requires months more containment measures. To suggest it'll stay flattened as much as required when measures are relaxed makes absolutely no sense unless:

1). Herd immunity is achieved (i.e. 60% of the population infected)
2). A vaccine is created
3). ALL infections are completely stamped out, including those traveling in and out of the country
4). All individual cases are perfectly tracked and contained, without even one slipping through the net (which is impossible)

Fairly strict measures will continue for a long time to come, but by all means continue your wishful thinking.
