I don’t think “everything” in the economy is that dire. Some areas, like tourism and some retail, yes. But for many if is shifting to online, online jobs, delivery, etc are booming. And we have a very large sector that still will be working, essential, services as well as many jobs that can be done at home. Law, accounting, and so many more jobs like that moving online. My husband’s business will not be shutting, just less hours. People will have to tighten their belts a lot.

Maybe I am naive, but I am not seeing 2.0% of the population dying from the economy, sorry.

You realize that in several states, construction is not considered an essential activity. If it isn't, it's shut down.

Ford, GM. FCA shut down ALL production in North America. So did Toyota, Honda, etc.
