Nothing is yet going back to normal, there is just much to risk when a business opens. Its not just US that is suffering fro mthis pandemic though so all of world suffers and families go hungry already. Some of us already rely to fishing and farming.

It's obvious that the stimulus checks can't boost the US economy,their function should be more social,rather than economic.
It can boost the economy. Money is one of the factors of production, and also the most important factor in economic growth and development; the corona virus pandemic created a situation were money became scarce for citizens and their businesses also due to lockdown and other restrictions, stimulus bonuses can reactivate the economy by providing funds for individuals, so they will in turn patronize other businesses that fits their taste, business men and women can also channel the funds to growing their businesses again, the checks are given to stimulate citizens, so they'll in turn stimulate the economy; the only downside of this is the possibility of inflation in years to come.
You realize that money printing will eventually boost the Bitcoin price,right? Grin
The U.S printing money for stimulus packages can't affect the price of bitcoin, only if you look at a scenario where majority of citizens buy bitcoins to evade the inflation of their currency, that is then more demand and a price appreciation to follow.

It happend before already that whenever there is a distribution of stimulus package, BTC spikes. I'm sure its going to affect the price.
They are buying probably from ATM machines as well.
