    It was on a first-come-first-serve basis, just to make sure firms were encouraged to undertake due diligence and follow robust corporate governance.

    22m job claims in 4 weeks. I bet its not a 1:1 with actual job losses.

    But what else is there to unwind now? People have lost their jobs. The're not spending in the economy. What is going to happen to all those never-never car loans? The world has been borrowing from the future to prop up car manufacturing. What else is lurking?

    History tells a different story

    The US economy was doing better before the GFC (in 2006) than it was before this crisis (in 2019).

    In fact, since the GFC, GDP growth has never exceded that of 2006. (So much for a roaring economy under Trump)

    US GDP by Year Compared to Recessions and Events

    Unless CV19 proves to be much less of a financial shock, it's hard to see how any recovery can be better than after the GFC.
