2020 will likely go down in history as the year of the largest and most wide-spread pandemic of the modern era – the COVID-19 pandemic.

Governments around the world quickly figured out that the effects of the economic crisis triggered by lockdowns and other containment measures is going to exceed the ones of the health crisis if they do not act fast, so they started issuing fat stimulus checks and printing money to numb the economic impact of the pandemic.
