This is true, but also, we’re not giving people money to keep them afloat while their job is illegal anymore. So having the lockdown might not help that much.
Arguably we should start giving people money again, then lift the lockdowns, to give them the ability to choose.
This is, of course, complicated by the fact that if your old job offers you back your job in-person, you’d presumably be ineligible for unemployment… so we’d have to give people money unconditionally for this to work.
