I think 6 months of lock downs or stay at home would show a lot of companies are not prepared to not have income. Businesses going out of business aren't coming back, along with the jobs they provided.


Sure. But if there was a need for the goods and services those companies provided before, then there will be a need for those goods and services again. I don't think enduring financial collapse logically follows from even an extended quarantine.


I don't think that is necessarily true. Something like gamestop won't come back, individuals who put everything into a small business might not recover and try again. A lot is happening at one time.


Something like Gamestop not coming back doesn't mean those dollars aren't still going to flow to gaming


It's not just gaming, there's employees, local taxes, rents, physical distribution.
