The ownership and distribution models aren't the problem. The problem is that while everyone is locked up at home, no one consumes, we don't go to restaurants, to malls, we don't do tourism. And in some case we don't produce either, construction is halted, etc. There is almost no economic activity going on.
No economic model works when everyone is effectively on house arrest.

There is no natural law that dictates that everything has to go to haywire just because things are on a pause, or that the current systems, particularly in the US, constitutes the optimal way to handle this.
