And The Guardian journalists still don't know that if the hydroxychloroquine hypothetically works, it's because it helps fighting the cytokine storm, therefore when being taken AFTER having been infected!

European Central Banks also joined into spending a bit more. Will the Euro get worth less or will other countries have even more devaluation causing it to stay more stable?

Is that 1.000.000 million Euro's spend in less then 3 months? Yes, yes it is.

Central bank spending doesn't necessarily lead to inflation. With the lockdown, demand has dwindled while supply has been more or less stable, which would normally lead to deflation (which is far worse for the economy than inflation). Giving money to people will let them buy that "extra stock" and keep the economy stable.

More US news: I think they clearly asked to be transparent this time, as fraud was suspected with previous bail-outs.

"Federal officials responsible for spending $660 billion in taxpayer-backed small-business assistance said Wednesday that they will not disclose amounts or recipients of subsidized loans, backtracking on an earlier commitment to release individual loan data."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/06/11/trump-administration-wont-say-who-got-511-billion-taxpayer-backed-coronavirus-loans/

Reason to not disclose: privacy of small business owners.
- Maybe they should only disclose amounts above 1million then?

In France, the government offered to pay 70% of the salaries of people who had their working hours cut due to the lockdown.
When some people who worked full time received they paycheck, they were surprised to see that they were declared as working reduced hours by their employers...

It wasn't exactly "allowed". It was supposed to be, then at the last minute they decided to disallow it and prevented the protestors from marching (and additional people from joining). I don't know if it was a calculated move, and what they hoped to achieve if it was.
