Large parts of the economy are going to have to be off-and-on sub-par until a vaccine is found or the virus burns out -- shut down for months, re-activated, and then shutting down again. The best solution for the wealthy countries is probably an emergency UBI, funded by debt.
The idea that this is going to be all over after 2 hard months seems optimistic. As long as the virus is floating around, we'll have trouble, so need to make an economy nimble enough to deal with occasional disruption.
I'm not, by the way, a huge fan of UBI under normal circumstances. But in this case, it's likely the best way to keep everything functioning & work around disruptions.
