It’s not clear what you want people to say here, it’s a quickly implemented scheme, so it’s simple, and the other methods of calculation would be equally unfair, but just to,others, rather from you.
We’ll be returning to normality in a few months, and millions of people will be worse off at the end of it; that’s what it means to have the economy hit.
Live off your savings for now. If you don’t have enough, and get hungry, then sell some things to buy food.
Don’t look to the state to get you through the lean times. It may be nice if they do, but it’s never a good idea to rely on it.
