Do you have so little respect of your fellow man that you think they are incapable of thinking? A big part of the spending was designed to float businesses during lockdowns to “flatten the curve”. The idea being that paying people to stay home would reduce risk of infection. They are pointing out this outcome did not happen.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about the above comment I was replying to. >They are pointing out this outcome did not happen. Flattening the curve absolutely does not mean preventing people from getting COVID; it's about lengthening the time horizon in which the population gets infected to reduce strain on the health care system. Moreover, a personal anecdote about getting COVID doesn't imply an overall policy failure. Just because someone let sick people cough in their face doesn't mean they should wax intellectual about macroeconomics.
