As the article says, traders are optimistic that the companies' stocks they're buying are going to do well in the near future after the cornoa virus social distancing is no longer in effect. It's very understandable. They're not "celebrating" people being out of work. They're anticipating everyone going back to work.

As a rule, markets are future-oriented in their behavior.
