Apparently, people who needn’t go back to work aren’t going back to work.

Is this inevitable? So many office jobs are far from useful, involving moving bits of paper around, or making phone calls, that people just aren’t going to miss a few million office workers not turning up.
A bit like many hospital clinic consultations, just as effective done by telephone, people might be waking up to the tremendous waste of time that society indulges in.

Ichkeria, //The idea that people should put themselves out to keep Subway going is fanciful.//
That’s not the idea. The idea is that people should put themselves out to keep themselves going - even those who work for Subway.
Same to jno.
Pixie, // it isn't up to companies to help people pay their mortgages. It's up to individuals to do what they need to.//
I didn’t suggest it was up to companies to help people pay their mortgages. It isn’t. Businesses need to survive because without them there are no jobs, and workers need to get back to work because without jobs there is no money.
I didn’t realise my post would be so complicated for some.

Without business there are no jobs, hence no taxes paid, and looking at the worst scenario, ultimately the demise of the Welfare State and a populace in poverty. No money - no anything. It's as simple as that really."
but that's a general statement....what should individuals do? What should the government do?

If they're fit and able, get back to work.
//What should the government do? //
The government has done all it can. It's furloughed people for months and propped businesses up for months. It can do no more. It's asked people to get back to work and that's what needs to happen.
