      I'm concerned about - short term issues around making rent - short term issues around necessities I know there are deeper supply issues that will become more prominent over time and this is not sustainable indefinitely, and that the second derivative to costs is positive :/

      What may happen is that capitalism is effectively suspended for a few months, and replaced by a planned economy, in which basic necessities are being produced and distributed with disregard for the normal paradigm of money as debt.

      How do I explain this to a libertarian? There is no physical law that forces us to be organized by markets. We only do that because it autoregulates supply, demand and innovation to some degree. You can also operate like an army, with centralized planning, control and allocation.

      You say, as you know a planned economy is less efficient than a free market economy and there are risks with imperfect information, yet such a mode of production and distribution is physically possible, ...

      and perhaps desirable if we choose to value protecting life and trust in our health care systems (and perhaps civil society) during a pandemic of this nature.

      pretty rough trying to set something like that up in short order and with no advance consideration of how throwing money at the problem probably more efficient is my guess

      The national guard has contingency plans for exactly this situation, I suppose. Just throwing money around won't make sure that everyone has toilet paper.

      hospitals seem like a better case for this than basic sanitation and food imo but who knows ive never set up a command economy at scale

          Some difficulties with just giving people money: There are 14M adults in the US that don't even have a bank account you can throw money into. You also have millions of undocumented immigrants etc. You also have very different disposable income (rent, health care, savings, ...).
