I think it’s highly unlikely we return to economy exactly as existed pre-pandemic b/c it’s already resulting in lifestyle changes. We shld be investing in 1) fighting pandemic 2) providing relief 3) building a new, post-pandemic economy, not trying to keep the outdated one afloat

Part of the reason the pandemic hit us so hard here is b/c our infrastructure—from travel to schools to healthcare to hospitality & dining—was outdated & unable to withstand this kind of pandemic. We don’t overcome this by clinging to old infrastructure & pre-pandemic lifestyle

If we’re investing in biz it should all go toward pandemic/public health-influenced innovations. Beyond that, overwhelming amount of $ should go toward developing a stronger social safety net b/c the lack of THAT, more than anything, is what has brought the economy to the brink.
