The situation is unprecedented in recent history. And, to give you an analogy, it’s a bit like an athlete who has to suddenly stop training under normal conditions and consequently sees their muscles gradually atrophy. It’s a somewhat similar story for economies when they are required to put a large part of their activities on hold.
I am very mindful of the fact that many of our compatriots particularly are working in hospitals and supermarkets and in roles that are vital to enable the country to keep going. But there is a whole part of the economy which is like the athlete who is required to stay at home.
