This statement isn't accurate. What triggered this movement was the economic fallout from the government's reaction to the Covid 19 pandemic; not the pandemic itself.
Furthermore, it would be hekpful to understand how many of these households were eventually victims (?) of Covid 19. That is, risk adverse individual moves home. Carries on with usual lifestyle. Eventually gets sick, infects others at home, and so on.

It seems pretty straightforward to me that a massive pandemic is going to hurt the economy, regardless of government action. I'm sure there will be other data points to look at in the future for what the consequences of various responses were (e.g. Sweden vs neighbors/etc?).
