    What's your timeframe?

    How many job losses do you expect?
    How many defaulting on their mortgage payments?

    All pretty important issues to know before going down your doomsday scenario of all the banks failing?

    That's not why the banks failed the last time.

    No - the funding structure of banks is different this time a lot more funding from customer deposits rather than rolling over short term European institutional money which cause the crunch the last time.

    Ultimately, all Irish banks failed spectacularly and went bankrupt during the GFC, then causing the country to go bankrupt in 2010 - did a single depositor lose a single cent on deposit in an Irish bank - no. Did the taxpayer lose a fortune - yes.

    Morgage freeze would freeze rents in turn allowing people to just survive this quarantine and containment, its the only sensible option. A massive amount of workers are self employed.

    Solvency then Solvency has employed scores of actuaries to setup financial institutions to prevent them going bust again. However, bank shares are traded like junk penny stocks. I'll have to ask them how they did. My suspicion is the banks won't go insolvert rather continue to trade like junk stocks.
