As money to spin the wheels of the real economy remains scarce, it will slowly be stripped/scavenged/liquidated and the longer the crisis lasts the lower the attainable level of activity will be when it resumes.

considering how much of the 'real economy' consists of humiliating, underpaid makework creating stuff people don't need and persuading them they want it, perhaps there's a silver lining to this.

'The history of public debt is full of irony. It rarely follows our ideas of order and justice.' Thomas Piketty
