Here is some worrying numbers whcih suggest tax wont fix this :

1p rise in basis rate income tax gives you 5 billion.

15 billion spend on PPE Is the total budget of the home office ie policing , security customs , immigration controls etc

about 360 billion spend in total spent on everything .

One major economists /business man said forget tax its a drop in the ocean and will stop folk spending anyway , just borrow a trillion ,interest rates are at zero , tax will not fix this it will just cause more debt as folk will cut back , country needs expenditure to recover .

Thankfully Boris and the chancellor don't favour another austerity program ,thank god we a have a socialist spending government in power
