I think they should be planning for a substantial fiscal stimulus. Something like a temporary expansion in medicare, guaranteed free testing, etc. A temporary expansion in funds for paid sick time. Expansion of unemployment benefits.
Or just say fuck it and cut people checks every month for a while.
Plan to have these ready in case they're needed. Health-related ones can probably be activated soon (esp testing).
Chance of any of this happening: 0%.
