The economy is pretty easy to restart with cash injections as you mentioned with infrastructure projects - be it trump or biden, one of them will do it.

  Gentle reminder that the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee is slightly less than 4 months away, and Biden is not the nominee yet.

    _Anything_ could happen between now and the convention/election. Surprisingly, I haven't seen this mentioned explicitly, but all of the remaining (major) candidates are squarely in the Covid-19 "danger zone". Some are known to have complicating health factors and there's a non-zero possibility that others do (despite what their doctors' notes say), which _doubles_ the risk.

      Many things but most obvious now would be drugs and drug compounds. China being able to refuse to sell us drugs is a national security issue. We didn't learn from the oil embargo of the 70s apparently.
