Equal rights for 80% of wages help from government for self employed.
Pay the self employed 80% of there wages if they cannot work due to covid19. They pay taxes and it would be easy to work out from tax returns.
Because in this type of unprecedented crisis the self employed need the same support as the employed. They should be as valued by the government as the employed and treated equally. They will be expected to help pay back the debt one day.
