Additional takeaways

"Households still have a lot of resources in aggregate, though a 'K' shape of recovery means some may need more help."

"Recession likely only lasted through March and April."

"Change in TIPS yields shows market faith in the Fed hitting inflation target."

"Almost all US GDP can be produced even with coronavirus circulating."
