<p>With COVID-19 and stimulus packages being in the news day in and day out, here are my two cents on what policy makers need to do to get over this relatively quickly and with as little pain to the common man as possible. </p>
<p>In my first note, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/the-month-the-world-stood-still-a-novice-small-business-guide-to-avoiding-a-long-recession" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Month the World Stood Still - A Novice Small Business Guide to Avoiding a Long Recession, </a>I wrote about the need for a globally coordinated minimum 30-day shutdown. I also spoke about the facts that as revenue falls to zero for most small businesses the governments will have to ensure that all costs go to zero as well for the duration of the shutdown and even a bit longer, if needed.</p>

<p>As mentioned before, whether it's possible to do a global coordinated shutdown or not is a different story. </p>
