exactly, nothing about training up temperature checkers, or re deploying people in the fight to keep the virus out. Instead people who can sit at home and not be infected are paid 25 dollars extra, while the rest of us have to go to work and get sick.

It would be like in WW2 paying people not to go off and fight

Market likes the package.

Extra spending equivalent to 4% of GDP.

Good cushion to soften the hard landing.

Plane will land ok but may burst a few tires on the way to the tarmac.

All good - no major casualties.

Muted reaction on the markets.
Small and medium businesses main beneficiary's,gives them confidence.

"Economist Shamubeel Equab has called the package "absolutely extraordinary" and "fantastic".
He said a recession was definitely going to happen, and he thought the package would go a long way towards preserving jobs and holding off business failures."

Unless the bank support package mentioned actually happens or small business have substantial reserves this will not keep a lot of small businesses going....
