De population of the planet is the only way, perhaps the bug is divine intervention (or sublime invention).

Well, everybody is going to die, DP. But, to be fair, there is no doubt that there have been shedloads of 'excess deaths' this year.

Strange how when the debt was increasing under labour - RWR on here were gagging to cut back spending and Austerity but when Tories push it past 1trillion and now 2 trillion - its not a big deal.
So go find the answer yourself. You had a decade to find out.

Not quite sure what the recommendation is on this thread. But.
- If everyone is borrowing money, then the debt is less of an issue as global currencies devalue. its only if one country is getting hammered more than the next and then only if it doesn't share a currency with its neighbours.
I do agree its time to get on with Covid. Lockdowns don't work. However, it seems we just need to buy a bit of time until February 2021

It's probably like mortgages.
Banks (share holders) give you money they don't have, then you pay it back and they do have it.
Where did it come from? You.

Ideally bonds are issued which are then purchased by investors or other govts, China has bought huge amounts of foreign debt in the form of bonds.
I suspect there is little appetite for the bonds at the moment so it's more like quantative easing.
We print money digitally and use it to buy our own bonds, so we owe the debt to ourselves.
If we default?, we give ourselves a jolly good talking to.
