The virus is beatable, but the measures that are required to beat it are economy killers, Ian Shepherdson, ‘The New York Times’.
While most agree that slowing
the rapid spread of COVID-19 is
the definite first priority.
economists say that
targeted industry stimulus
might prevent layoffs.
Cash payments might allow
