What was the unemployment rate at the start of the year? What do you think it might be in December? Explain your reasoning
Are people likely to have higher, or lower, debts in December 2020, compared to 2019? Are governments likely to have more or less debt? Explain your reasoning, and what the implications could be
Can you think of any businesses/industries that may take longer to recover than others? (Any ideas of businesses that involve lots of people gathering together for extended periods?)

Overall: how powerful will the economic effects of this virus be? What might they depend on?
