Reducing labor will greatly affect the economy. Even if it reduces the spread of disease, it will have a strong short-term impact. Many people will have to live in poverty and always in a shortage of food. But this is also a good solution for America's long-term future. They should cut down personnel in unnecessary industries now to ensure the safety of the country in the future.
At least the US government will do some action to at least Give this unemployed a alternative income ,even not that much but for the reason they need to eat daily and no one can help them but the Government .
Not only in US but even here in our country unemployment keep on increasing. I think different countries are now experiencing a high numbers of unemployment due to pandemic that until now there is no cure. Is so sad because most of us will continue to a difficult living. Even we're going to save all that we have as long as we can but our needs continue daily.
