This government has just written several blank cheques. They will be printing money like there is no tomorrow.
This will help a heck of a lot of people.
But there is a flaw imo and that is, it's up to employers to do it. Some businesses are close to bankruptcy or just don't have any income to stay open. Others, like in my profession where there are supply teachers (basically zero hour contract in effect), why would any school take that grant to fund them especially if they're closed and don't need them. I'm sure there are other similar examples in the zero hour industries where there is no business coming in.
Social distancing to include children with appropriate supervision.
These changes are going to severely test the stability of my software .
All those changes to Universal credit, Local housing allowance and the passing of taxable income into the benefits system are going to keep me very busy.

Children with safeguarding and child protection issues, as well as those who are most vulnerable e.g. with medical impairments etc are coming into school.
Then there are also the children of key workers so they can do their jobs.
In school we've been given the directive NO teaching/lessons, it's purely childcare.
Sorry mate you've lost me. I thought you were asking why some children are going into school despite the closures?
The closures are to minimise the risk of spreading the virus.
@Roy Munson going to the Gym is banned
He probably got banned when he stalked that woman.
No you are right . I get you totally , just seems all or none ( I would have thought ) , but you explained it well .
It’s a grant which means it doesn’t have to be paid back - any employer who isn’t a total **** will take advantage of this to keep staff on where possible unless it’s people they wanted an excuse to get rid of anyway!
I run a team that provides interfaces between Local governments, HMRC, Pensions service and DWP .
These interfaces have only been running for 12 - 18 months so this is going to really test the system
