AFAIK stocks are up due to the announcements that the lock downs will be ending. However, the surge seems rather short sighted: you can coax stores into reopening, but you can’t force people to go out and shop in them like they used to.

I don't think many people, including me, will need much if any coaxing at all.

Worse, there are a lot more unemployed now who won't be shopping at all.
