COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

It's completely arbitrary. How do they decide which year of income to choose? And, it doesn't take into account people who may lose jobs because of the COVID-19 outbreak. If you want to both stimulate the economy and guarantee that you help everyone who needs help, you just give the money to everyone. That way all the people who need help get it and those who don't really need it can use the money to put into the economy and keep businesses open.

I agree. Many of the people that I know who are in the $200k arena are upper end sales people, producers, or design/engineers. They produce transactions, sales, and/or widgets. Much of their salaries are based on bonuses and commission. Right now, everyone's at the poker table holding their chips and playing the ante only. Even though these people are essential to their companies and lower level employees would be cut first, their salaries will drastically decrease.
