OK, but how will people without savings or adequate credit pay for food and healthcare?

Also, how can people stay at home if they're homeless?

Will governments step in with free food, and rules against eviction?

Yes, the government should step in with those measures regardless. Without that, this isn't possible. Then we are stuck doing nothing like the UK, despite having almost two months lead time on this.
