I'm not an economist, but it seems like the problem is a destruction of demand, so how does increasing supply help things?

Money supply.

If you're a company who invested in a great workforce, and is getting nuked due to demand destruction, borrowing to keep paying them is a savvy long-term bet.

If you can't borrow, you'll have to let them go. That not only creates human misery. It also destroys the human capital you carefully built.
