We’ve spent $4T already on Covid relief yet only 1/5 of that went to individuals. Big companies received PPP who weren’t even required to use it to save employee’s jobs. And many didn’t. #DirectCashRelief

I agree . . . How would you counter a right leaning person who would just say "we need to open up the economy!" . ./?

The best route to opening up the economy would be to pay people #directcashrelief so they can pay their bills and have the money to stay home. That will give us the time we need to get the virus under control and then everything will be safe to re-open.
