hm. hopefully he doesnt just save his own

there need to be restaurants and hotels still standing when the virus abates so there are places to go to generate economic activity

if they all just fucking fail and the virus passes there will still be weak growth because there won't be companies alive to employ people or where people can spend money

and the banks will probably be stingy on lending to new enterprises

this stimulus needs to go directly to small and medium size business to stay afloat so once everyone is released from their lockdown the pent up demand can be released somewhere

I understand this is rhetorical, but keep in mind this is an entirely new event in history we are living through. No plan is gonna cover this.
