Where the money comes from
A conservative acquaintance summed up the present conservative unease with the measures being taken to try to keep everyone solvent with, "Where's the money really coming from?"
After some consideration, this is my answer: The money is coming from a future where few enough people have died that the economy is eventually able to swing back into action at full strength. Therefore, it is vital that we all stay distanced for now, lest we restart the chain of transmission and cause a temporal paradox that will rend the economy asunder for the long term.
