You cant say that without explaining what would happen after 5% of the population get sick. Restaurants will Slowly close down, factories will close. You get a month worth of extra pay and then you have to shut down? You could argue we can do it like Taiwan and Korea where people work with gloves and masks, except China took all the supplies and we outsourced everything.
I am supporting my laid off parents and paying my nanny, so yes I am getting dragged into it too.
I was in HR/Payroll in my previous role. If your company isn't a cash rich corporation, 5% of your workforce calling out sick will pretty much force you to close the company. Remember most insurance require the employer to pay for some days before STD kicks in. Since the virus has a Ro rate of higher than 1, the more employees you have infected, the more they spread to other employees. You are going to run out of money from just sick pays alone. God forbid they file a lawsuit against for wrongful death, you are going to be f-ed.
