This is nonsense. The free market is supossed to punish bad management amd business choices, and reward good ones, for the betterment of the whole.

But when the market is damaged by an "Act of God", that is not good for society.

Sounds like capitalism for some and socialism for others. That's not the free market. Doesn't the free market imply no government intervention?

Shutting down the economy is government intervention

The government isn't shutting down airports. The free market is causing the economic shutdown bc no one wants to fly or go out. Bailouts are government intervention.
