I also feel for the 14 to 25 year olds who have largely been ignored by government thinking and upon whom the burden will fall for many years.
Not sure I agree with the comment regarding the 14 - 25 year olds being ignored, it's more a case of government having to address the immediate economic impacts of the pandemic and the needs of the majority of "economically active" adults, with the younger cohort being pushed down the road a way so as to give head space to the immediate measures to be taken.

I suspect everyone will suffer once the government support (furlough schemes, loans to business that will have to be repaid, etc etc) is withdrawn, and I'm equally confident that NO government can be confident of managing that pain well.
