Nearly everybody who dies "HAS" coronavirus...

Or can be "shown" to by an utterly fake test

But nobody ever dies FROM a virus.

This is basic understanding needed to grasp what is going on right now

If the economy is growing, the adverse effects of inflation are better concealed, but not nullified. Deflation is not the bogeyman presented by most analysts. A trend of falling prices presents no hazard to the economy, and wealth growing when saved even without interest is a good thing. This is distinct from falling prices when a necessary market correction occurs after the consequences of inflation and misallocation of resources can no longer be concealed by Keynesian manipulation.

Printing money does not create wealth. We have suffered a season of drastically reduced economic production. Goods and services produced to serve the demands of consumers is what keeps the economy afloat, and that has been dealt one heck of a blow this year. Creating new money makes people feel wealthy, but the likely effect will be increasing prices for the poor and further consolidation of power in the political class.

Money is different from all other commodities: other things being equal, more shoes, or more discoveries of oil or copper benefit society, since they help alleviate natural scarcity. But once a commodity is established as a money on the market, no more money at all is needed. Since the only use of money is for exchange and reckoning, more dollars or pounds or marks in circulation cannot confer a social benefit: they will simply dilute the exchange value of every existing dollar or pound or mark. So it is a great boon that gold or silver are scarce and are costly to increase in supply.

But if government manages to establish paper tickets or bank credit as money, as equivalent to gold grams or ounces, then the government, as dominant money-supplier, becomes free to create money costlessly and at will. As a result, this 'inflation' of the money supply destroys the value of the dollar or pound, drives up prices, cripples economic calculation, and hobbles and seriously damages the workings of the market economy."

• Murray Rothbard

The bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist also looks beyond. The bad economist sees only the direct consequences of a proposed course; the good economist looks also at the longer and indirect consequences. The bad economist sees only what the effect of a given policy has been or will be on one particular group; the good economist inquires also what the effect of the policy will be on all groups."

• Henry Hazlitt

Indeed, some people were in dire need of funds when the government shut down the economy and prevented them from earning wealth by producing wealth for others. A case could be made that government owes restitution, even. But governments produce nothing. They cannot create wealth. Instead, they print money, inflate the supply of paper and digital dollars, and restrict economic production based on arbitrary dictates because they live by the politician's syllogism: "Something must be done, and we are doing something, so we are doing what must be done!"

I don't know whether we are facing the consequence of another great depression or recession, but "stimulus" is the wrong answer to an artificial problem.
