Slate's lead business writer Jordan Weissman and behavioral economist Matt Darling join the show to discuss the economic response needed in the face of the expanding coronavirus pandemic.  We talk about the potentially unprecedented scale of the challenge, the logic behind just sending everyone #checkscheckschecks, why we should be bailing out small businesses and more.
