We built an economic machine to help win WW2. It wasn't on our soil. The countries who won WW2 in Europe were devastated; it's why we created the Marshall Plan for them.
Conversely, we're deconstructing our economy now to its bare essentials now.
Having said all of that, if people are as optimistic as you are potentially they'll be happy tiding themselves over and readying themselves for a BOOM 2H. In which case the short-term government subsidies will work and business won't close. I'm not going to violate the politics thing, so I'll only say that the former host of the Celebrity Apprentice said as much today. Hoping you and him are right, Jaded.
Yes, I certainly am not trying to derail this into politics.
The opposite in fact. Again, the one good that likely comes is a reminder that we are all in this together, United and not divided.
