i don't see any issue here as long as everybody wears their rabbies ... err .. coronavirus vaccination and immunity certifying tags/armbands/bracelets. Those can even be automatically read upon entering businesses, offices, subway, etc.

The crisis in many respects is incorrectly blamed on the virus whereis it is mostly self-inflicted by lack of coherent response and is self-prolonged and made much more severe by the failure so far to launch any real counter-pandemic measures like for example massive testing and contact tracing.

Wrt. the stocks - the government has already made it pretty clear that they are propping those pure numbers up, real economy and people be damned, at least until the elections.
