Yep. This is what we get without social safety nets: a large fraction of the country is constantly perched on the cliff of poverty. Just one big thing has to go wrong and it's all over. Right now, that one big thing is going wrong for virtually everybody all at the same time.
- holken 7y agoWe have social safety nets here in Sweden and we're in a free fall too.
- _bxg1 7y agoYes but I assume you don't have a bunch of individuals who are about to have their lives ruined, potentially becoming homeless. The country as a whole bears the weight of the crisis, no?
- holken 7y agoIn a few days time we ran out of space in the hospitals so unless you're dying you don't really get treatment. Businesses will die and peoples life will be ruined. Not to the point of being homeless though, maybe living in the slum being dependent on government payout. (Which is not a fun existence) Sweden is talking about herd immunity just as the UK because we don't have the capacity to handle it.
