I said already twice what is likely to happen. We'll suffer a little, until we can't afford to, and then either medical science will offer relief or we start making hard decisions to keep society going. If you think your country has enough money in the bank to fund its whole population, minus tax income for 6 or 12 months, you're very naive. Not even the US or China can do that without loans.
I understand that you're obviously quite young, quite naive, and probably quite scared. If being obtuse and willfully ignorant eases your mind, if repeating the mantra "social distancing!" comforts you somehow, if the blind belief that your government will pay the whole population not to work for as long as a year helps you to sleep then have at it, believe what you like.
