2. Don't forget that the industries that might get bailed out have many employees

who are being laid off or losing their jobs right now. I worked for a major airline on 9/11, which hit that industry very hard, and while I didn't lose my job a whole lot of other people did, and all the major airlines had to file bankruptcy a few years later. It was a tough time for everyone, especially the people who found themselves unemployed. This epidemic will be even worse. All of these financial disruptions hit the rank and file employees hardest. It's easy to rail at the CEOs and investors but don't forget who will get hurt the worst.
