I think the economy will be ****ed for at least a year. People are going to get used to consuming less and staying in. The reality of debt based living will hit. These govt checks are a measure to stave off disaster, that won't last into the fall. This virus will spike again next fall, sending people for cover and recessing consumption.
There isn't going to be a sustained rebound by Q3.
I don't disagree that we may not rebound by Q3 but I'm skeptical that the average Americans taste for debt changes dramatically. That takes a lot of disciple and delayed gratification.
agree 100%
Just like any disruption people change for like a month and then right back into old habits.
Saw it here in Houston after Harvey.
Neighbors were out and about coming together in community, then bam, right back to isolation in their homes.
Unless there is mass loss in employment nationwide we will be back to full consumption sooner rather than later.
