Common sense shows this is way worse than 2008 recession. No one is spending money on anything. That is the worst possible economic thing.
We are printing money and talking trillions like it is no big deal. Why is the stock market not down like 50%?

One reason is people like me keep putting money in.
The stock market is a con game, in the sense that if you don't lose confidence and sell you'll almost always recover. Meanwhile, the brokers and people manipulating trading make money whether it goes up or down. But you don't lose money if you don't sell... usually.
And many of us Honest Citizens understand that we have to have the market - the companies! - supported so that we do have an America to open up, so that people can eat and have jobs. I'm invested in America, WE are invested in America, one such way we invest is the market.
I mentioned con game.... many edged thing that con game. Another edge is the confidence we have in POTUS as well as in America itself. Millions and millions of us are All In, we're playing this hand to the end, no folding.
