It's not really a matter of tolerating, they'll literally start starving to death at a certain point. A couple months is enough time for credit cards to be cancelled for lack of payments or all limits to be hit, enough time for these various stimulus plans to run out, etc. Enough time for all but the most well capitalized businesses to just fail.
A massive percentage of the country just can't survive that long. There's more ways to die than just COVID.
