You write in very final terms: simply can’t; that lead to a financial one (as though the financial crisis isn’t real).

But seem to be overlooking @JumpCrisscross’ main thrust of: long after its cause had subsided ... after the infection has passed.

It seems reasonable to predict the current restrictions won’t exist in perpetuity.

And even if they do linger on for a long time (years) then businesses will also need sufficient liquidity to adapt to a new normal. Startups created to fulfill any new or newly important needs.
