This was exactly what economic stimulus checks are meant to do, encourage spending to keep money flowing. I'm no economist, but when everyone is scared/unable to spend money the economy doesn't work very well.

You know what else damages the economy? 

Massive inflation from increasing the money supply 40% while sabotaging supply chains with pointless and invasive shutdowns and cost-increasing requirements. 

This was an entirely artificial "crisis".
