Does $MCD going bankrupt from this event pass your smell tests? It'll be trading for solid bankruptcy odds soon.
If not, really think through the possibility of a government bailout.

I see capitalism as a tool for making the world work better, rather than to followed perfectly through a crisis. Maybe a good litmus test is, "Can this event be insured for?" In this case, all insurance companies int he world combined couldn't do it.
Same. Some companies will have business interruption insurance that will cover this. In any case, bailing out everyone of going to bankruptcy may be a worse cure than the disease.
