I'm afraid that's not the case, at least in the US and UK.

As things get tougher, so will those countries. Don't forget people are actually needed and when it comes to save them, people can move mountains. I mean look at the US. Even the biggest rich asshole in the country is employing socialism already.

And that's the problem with pandemics. You need to stop them asap, take the economic hit at the beginning and contain them with everything you've got, otherwise things go out of control. Trump was and still is myopic, he's trying to avoid the inevitable economic crisis by delaying the necessary measures, but he's just delaying whatever is coming when he's forced to freeze the whole country. Of course the same can be said for countries like the UK and Holland.
