I agree with you that if the government helps the people then the epidemic will be better and many will be saved from the financial crisis. The Canadian government has extended more help than the US government in economic aid. Although the government provides relief funds to the poor, political leaders are interfering, so it would be better if there are many sites in this forum where we can solve some of our own problems by working without relying on the government. It is possible to deal with financial problems through trade or investment.
There is no epidemic that makes something good, because the pandemic itself is a disaster that must be ended immediately. Yes indeed, when there is any disaster and in this case it is an epidemic that at least there will be a movement carried out by the government and there is no government that is just silent in the case of any disaster, so it is natural and indeed must be done by the government to help ease the burden on its people during the pandemic and crisis like this.
