Even if that is the case, it's not your choice, as I said before - it does not apply to those voluntarily unemployed. You are projecting arguments of basic income onto an economic solution for a pandemic where people are suddenly forced into unemployment or unpaid leave for a very specific reason...
Given a lack of choice how can paying wages make any difference to their employment behavior. I'll repeat: this is not basic income.
