hell in a handbasket

a big ole mess on the inside and out.

take all of the underworld, the demons, the devil, the fires, the rivers of mud, the torture devises, etc and shove them into a picnic basket turning it inside and out into a conglomerated mess. Imagine what that looks like----and that is what you are when you are hell in a handbasket.

Going to hell in a handbasket

To be going to hell in a handbasket is to be rapidly deteriorating - on course for disaster.
Simply put, things get worse and worse and don't seem to get better.

The virus is killing millions of people and thousands of people got laid off. I hate to tell you this but things going to hell in a handbasket.
