I think we are talking about 2 different things.

You are referring to what happened after massive government and central bank intervention.

I was talking about what could be a worst case scenario.

Services sector 67% of US economy:

theatlantic.com.

In Canada some provinces' economies are as high as 74 percent.

The 1929 Depression saw a 15 to 20 percent contraction in GDP and they were at the early phase of a multi-decade industrial expansion when manufacturing was more of the US economy.

If the perceived damage was only going to be 5 percent of GDP the governments and central banks around the world would have to do nothing as it would have only been a mild recession.

My comment was a projection if everything went wrong in a perfect storm and it was not based on a complex model just some worst case assumptions of demand destruction based on what people need as opposed to want.
