You're equating normal rational people trying to stay home and stay away from COVID as much as possible pre-vaccine with the government forcing them away from businesses. It was never like that, except for restaurants in some states and/or counties.
The PPP was not a handout to negate government-enforced shutdowns, but market-driven precipitous decreases in business across many different sectors, due to people hunkering down as much as possible waiting for the vaccine. This is why there was so much pent-up 'spending money' to later drive inflation. You'd know this except you and everyone you know probably thought, and continues to think, COVID is a bunch of Chinese nanobots installing 5G reception in your brains, and you can't stomach the thought that a vast cross-section of society took precautions, potentially sparing themselves later vascular dementia but devastating the economy in the short term.
