How does the government get cash to deserving people and businesses amid the corona virus?

I think the idea is that we don’t care if you “deserve” it or not, we want that money out in the economy so that people aren’t hunkering down and saving thereby not creating economic activity.

So, if you are in a pinch now, this money will help you. If you still have a job and are not hurting, maybe you are fearful and watching your pennies. If you have some extra, then maybe you will order takeout from restaurants or buy a flat screen TV on Amazon or otherwise stimulate the economy.

I think that is the idea anyways. Haven’t thought about it enough to have an opinion on it.
