Looking at Europe (but the US seems to be taking the same direction). All restaurants, shops, entertainment, tourist industry are closing, and will remain closed for several months. Large businesses will fire people (see airlines now), small businesses will go bust. If these health policies undershoot their targets in term of number of people infected, then we may have to deal with this virus again next fall/winter, so add a few more months of similar pain. I just don't see how this will not have lasting effects. Even in Dec 2008, at the very worst of the crisis, you had deep discounts in shops, but at least you could consume. But here all malls will be basically closed.
