The real issue is the timeline and structure of work "until it is time to reopen".
Let's be clear, it will be time to fully reopen once we reach near-herd immunity or we have a vaccine with fairly widespread deployment — say 12 months out?
Until then, restaurant and bar demand seems like it will be weird: takeout should recover, social distancing and masks heavily affecting dine-in, and zero major social gatherings (crowded bars, concerts, festivals, sporting events, etc.).
So the question is: can the state support the workers serving the latter end of the food and drink service spectrum for 12 months? I think it's going to be ugly.
