Agree with you 100%. The expected unemployment for this scenario is going to have an impact that is far longer lasting than the short amount of time folks have to shelter in place. Just in my country, we are expecting two quarters worth of impact from an economic perspective. The longer the virus stays, the longer the duration of the after effects and the longer it will take to jump start the economy. We are past the point of people "just going back to work" which is a finer point you failed to call out in your simplistic response although implode may well describe it at a high level.
