Key Points: Peter Tchir Discusses the Need for Federal Assistance to Mitigate the Economic Impact of the Crisis We have now declared war on the coronavirus pandemic here in the United States. The goal is to slow the spread so our healthcare system can catch up (i.e. not be overwhelmed). The recommendation to stay home/limit activity will have an immediate impact on the economy. The Federal government needs to be more aggressive and take action to protect its citizens and make them financially “whole”. Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, this is a “bottoms up” problem and the effect will “trickle up”. General Spider Marks Comments on the National Mobilization National mobilization – much like in WWII and during national disasters like hurricanes. Invoking the Stafford Act – will grant the president additional powers. National Guard will continue to be engaged to help communities get through the crisis. Country cannot move into complete isolation; we will need to work together. Nation has made sacrifices before, and will make them again and overcome this.
