That's one way to look at it.
An arguably more accurate interpretation is that few workers laid off due to Covid-19 are likely to find remote work. And that means testing wouldn't be worth the expense.
There is increased demand for delivery drivers and truckers, I admit. So I agree that these policies may increase wage rates for such categories. But that's not so horrible.
