Probably not much if every other economy responds in exactly the same way.

It's too early to say; what matters more is what a recovery, if any, looks like. The US has a history of enduring greater short-term pain but bouncing back faster.

Yeah, but if you read: https://www.lynalden.com/great-depression/ That spells out the case pretty clearly that this time is different.

People have been talking about unsustainable US debt for decades. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

It's very early days, and this is a recession unlike any other, so it's hard to say what will happen, because this type of recession has not occurred in modern history.
