  1. Louis, Politicians never have actual solutions. The only people, who have solutions are engineers and specialists in their respective fields. What would I do? Well, step number one. Suspend the market. For the duration of the problem, which need's to be overcome, there must not be any changes to prices. In times of crisis volatility increases, and since revenues of ones are costs of others, and costs are much less downward flexible, what you get is increased inflation. It may look small, but in places like New York, that will be enough to cause such social breakup, as we see. For this reason, prices must be artificially frozen. The same would happen to Utilities and Internet access, with the added caveat, that the government would pay them directly. Right now, access to infrastructure and information is key, so the government would have to handle this. Step two. All loans are suspended. Their repayment is postponed and no interest is accrues on any loaned money for the duration of the crisis. As long as obtaining money is made artificially harder or impossible, any investor has no right to achieving any growth of his portfolio on those investments, that are in the affected sector. If real economy isn't growing, financial markets shouldn't either, because there is no source of that wealth, and we're back to inflation problem from before. Step three. Handouts. I know, how unpopular this would have been, especially in the US. Every person, who could prove he lives in a particular area would be given a set amount of money to suffice him for basic necessities, those being food, beverages (not just water) and clothing. Plus, any one would be able to ask for money for medicine, they require. Same would apply for any reasonable repairs. These two sets of money would be paid out backwards against receipts. Step four. slow start of local economy. Unemployed would be called upon to help out in hospitals and other places, which deal with increased volume of demands for their normally provided goods and services. University students would also be pulled in to service, most importantly medics, their studies extended by one to two years free of charge on all universities. This would never be compensated for. Step five. Distribution of firearms. These steps would eventually fail. They could deal with a smaller crisis, but ultimately, the only thing, that can keep people in check, is fear. Knowing, that every person around them is carrying, not that they just may carry, will provide a disincentive to violence, and will swiftly deal with violence, once it erupts. It's not nice, it's not a good solution, but at this point, you've run out of less painful options. Just as you said Louis, there is not a whole lot to do, once you're in the rapids in a canoe with a hole in the middle and no paddle. Step six. Restart of the economy and slow shift back to normal. When things begin to calm down, different activities would be gradually removed from restrictions, starting with those, which stabilize the most populous sectors, allowing them to build up some money, which then can move up the ladder and help restart the economy from the ground up. Just like when you're building a house, you begin with the foundations, not the roof. While this is phase is going on, tools are being made available to prevent some of the problems from occurring again. First of these, would be a multiplicator of taxes on any unoccupied property and a couple of thousands inspectors hired, to check this, including door busting gear. Any and all business real estate would be subject to inspection. The idea is, that increased costs of ownership of unoccupied space would incentivize leasing it out, because at this point, you're saving money even when leasing for a dollar. Otherwise, the building would show up on the market eventually, because nobody can maintain the those costs long term. The city would buy these abandoned buildings, if no one else did for a while, and repurpose it, in to what is needed in the city, such as more decent quality housing. Welcome, to the desert of real.
