If we do a "full lockdown" like this, there needs to be a suspension of basically all bills (mortgage, rent, etc.) for the period of the shutdown +20%.

This obviously doesn't work if "suspension" means you don't pay the provider, because then they can't in turn pay their employees etc.

What could work is some kind of UBI which people could then use to pay their bills.
