Resources different countries have pledged against coronavirus crisis.

UK: £46 million = £0.69 per person
Ireland: 3 billion euro = 621 euro (£540.25) per person
Italy: 7.5 billion euro = 124 euro (£107.88) per person
Australia: AUD$10 billion = AUD$406.50 (£204.47) per person
But then, we are talking about *this* Boris Johnson...
All that said, it is Budget day tomorrow, so we should hopefully hear about a support packages for businesses and people affected by the crisis. I am not optimistic about it coming free of strings, though.
As I mentioned, there is likely to be more money pledged in the Budget tomorrow. But it feels like a political game to hold off on announcing it (and therefore making it available) and instead keeping it as a Budget Day rabbit out of the hat.
As anticipated, a variety of new initiatives have been unveiled in the Budget (see embedded thread). It's very clear the Tories were timing their announcement for maximum political gain... Nevertheless they represent a genuine step change improvement.
