May 21, 2020 | In light of the pandemic, governments have moved quickly to support hard-hit workers and businesses. This provision of economic 鈥渞elief鈥� is different from conventional 鈥渟timulus鈥� common during normal recessions. Whereas stimulus policies are all about getting people back to work and businesses back to normal levels of operation, the current relief policies are about replacing people鈥檚 incomes while they are safely isolating at home.
