granted, this might be me exercising my relative financial privilege, but i do want people safe and not dead due to this virus

I'll wait for next month's figures before trying to extrapolate. But I'm inclined to agree, whatever else happens in the economy this unemployment spike is probably a one-off.
It's maybe an upside of something that usually I dislike, which is how easy it is for employers to lay off workers in the US. Those businesses who know they'll have to lay off workers sooner or later, do it right away.
