Some commentary from ANZ in reference to the Australian city of Melbourne lockdown.

  • The lockdown experience in Melbourne shows that economic scarring from short lockdowns is unlikely
  • and that spending will recover (and perhaps overperform) as soon as the lockdown ends

Bolding mine. Its an intriguing idea but I'd suggest it'd need a lot more work before making definitive conclusions, and what conditions/caveats apply etc.
