    You don't want people to go work but you want to complain about unemployment numbers. (We all know why of course but it seems even you would understand the contradiction)

    This looks like a long term problem.
    I can see Business trying to figure out a way to permanently eliminate the need for Humans in their business or for groups of Humans to physically associate.
    (I'm guessing this won't be the last Pandemic or Biowarfare event)

    There's no 100% full proof way to stop the spread of COVID other than every single one of us stay home and have no interaction with anyone. Because we need to eat along with other necessities for survival that's not possible. So there is risk leaving the house and going to the store etc. And your trade-off for shelter-in-place is a massive loss of jobs. So there is a lot of cognitive dissonance in saying we need to extend S-I-P and then complaining about job loss.
