i understand that the government created a plan with the intent to sort of put the economy on pause, so that it could just roll over and start back up where it left off; however naively, that was the clear intent, and there were clearly measures introduced to implement that agenda.

but, does the government think it can pay out salaries for the next two years, while it takes in almost no revenue, itself?

i'm reading these reports of businesses that aren't eligible freaking out, and i'm just wondering how the thing is going to maintain itself, let alone how the people that don't qualify are going to fare.

that idea of a pause and restart had to be designed with the assumption that disruption would be short, which contradicts the messaging coming from the government to expect a lengthy disruption, with a staggered return to normalcy.

is the government sure that it wants to insist on trying to freeze the economy, given the expected timeframes?
