People aren't not going to stores, etc. because of the virus. In WA this weekend, with lockdown theater in full force, there were tons of groups eating outside restaurants on benches and grass out of takeout containers, hiking trailheads were overflowing with cars, running in a city park near my house was impossible because of the crowds (larger than on a regular sunny weekend). It was really inspiring to see (from a position of a person who absolutely disagrees with lockdowns, even if the worst case exponential spread was the alternative). Imagine what the economic impact of the virus alone would be if there weren't lockdown pleas all over the news, social media, even highway signs. It would be close to zero now, and if Spanish Flu teaches us anything it would be negligible even at the peak. So, the government is killing the economy. Hence, the government is also trying to prop it up. I suspect it won't end well either way.
