How is the Market doing well in light of the Economic Turmoil?

I was hoping to hear some thoughts on the markets upward trend despite the overall uncertainty of the economy. Unemployment is in double digits, and covid cases continue to rise. Also, the government relief efforts that dished out $600 a week is about to expire which is going to fuck 20 million US households who rely on that. Its also election year which makes things even more interesting. How is there such a disconnect between the market and the economy and why are investors so optimistic?
