Even with hindsight , if you assume the massive lock down happens, we have no idea what happens to the economy in the initial months without the stimulus.
Politically, people can disagree with the lockdown, or later stimulus checks and later rounds of PPP.
But I have trouble critiquing the initial response in quickly getting money into the economy.
- DrThunder 4y agoThe issue is the lockdowns didn't ever need to continue after the initial 2 week phase. There was no consideration for anything other than we need to obliterate covid by all means necessary. Even when they were presented with data that contradicted the need for lockdowns they decided to double down with more restrictions. The initial 2 week response was understandable, everything after was not.
