@jespah,
Most Americans (maybe 70% at least) will come out of this epidemic with money to spend. Most retirees will be fine, social security is being paid and retirees are supposed to have any investments in safe funds. White collar jobs are being done from home.
I am taking a cut in pay, but I will be fine financially. I will be looking to go out and spend money as soon as this is over. I imagine much of the middle class will be doing the same. I do think that this will exacerbate wealth disparity. I think service workers and lower income families will be hurt more than the middle class.
I think there will be plenty of Americans with money to spend; even on things like major appliances (The housing market is another story). This is good because it will give some incentive for businesses to ramp back up.
In the optimistic case, the "V" shaped recovery, people who have money will go out and spend it quickly.
