That's what makes it so ridiculous -- everybody already has enough debt. Yet they want folks to go into debt even more. Sheer stupidity of the highest order.
I think this is why I would lean towards something like gold, or other commodities that have already been wrecked. I may be wrong, but gold has seemingly always withstood market forces and time. I also like oil, too, but not the stocks yet. There's no way in hell oil goes to zero, so $20 a barrel is probably a bargain long term. Once the market for stocks is priced out and the virus is controlled, that's when the companies that are still left in the market might be a good play, those with decent dividends.

Land maybe, houses no, IMO.
