In general, people may NOT be spending in April because of the unpredictability of the current situation. If we were a CEO thinking of building a new factory, we more likely "table" that idea because of uncertainty. Why NOT hold cash and wait? If businesses and regular people PULL BACK on expenditures, then the economy grinds to a HALT. There could be massive worker layoffs. Then the small % of people with available cash could buy up EVERYTHING at a DISCOUNT.
