This is why an exceptional situation like a pandemic lockdown warrants a massive stimulus package in Congress - so that wages can still be paid to people the government must unfortunately prevent from working. It paints an unfortunately one-sided picture in the US at least - there is just no arguing that the economic suffering and inflaming regular people to become wrongly anti-lockdown is the fault of Congressional Republicans and the president for not urgently passing additional very large stimulus and relief packages.
