I like how you put it "governments everywhere mandating that the economy go into recession due to a public health emergency". Which is very true.

That's right. Most companies have not stopped business due to bodies lining the streets. If they had been forced to close due to the sheer reality of unconstrained growth, the recession would be terrible. However, right now, most countries are closing businesses preemptively, which is great, but if the government mandates a recession, they will be forced to compensate (which they're doing)
