Vast majority of these have been furloughed and can resume the same employment

after restrictions are lifted.  Not saying it isn't a trial, but I'd take being furloughed over death.  Seems pretty obvious to me.   Here's the thing.  We decide not to shut down anything, ever.  We're not comparing the same numbers.  We've got to stop comparing these numbers (number of deaths vs. number of unemployed) because #1 there would STILL be MILLIONS of unemployed if we didn't shut down anything because people would not be going out and spending money if they had a risk of contracting this virus.  On the other hand we would also be talking about hundreds of thousands of people dying (maybe a million or two even) instead of tens of thousands.  I just hate this apples to oranges comparison.
