I'm sure that fact will be comforting to the millions of people getting evicted and going hungry on the streets which will happen the day evictions are allowed again, which in many places is today. $1200 isn't going to go far for most people, certainly not more than a month. Unemployment might help for those that can collect it. But let's not mistake gdp for a well functioning economy. If half of the nation ends up homeless and on the streets, it'll be irrelevant if we're making 99% of the gdp. This applies to normal times too. Pretending like this figure is a reflection of how well the economy is doing is absurd. In current times, it's even more absurd to pretend that just because we're making 90% of our gdp that things are going well or are less dire than they appear. What nonsense.
