I dunno. If I were offered a choice between working the next 4 months or not working and still getting my regular paycheck for the next 4 months but without having a guaranteed job to return to I'm definitely still working. That would not even be close. Because I'm afraid of not being able to find a job in 4 months or only finding a position at a lower salary. That we're in a crisis situation in which the economy could be crashing only compounds that.

Like, what do I say at a job interview in 4 months? I quit my last job so I could take handouts from the government for 4 months? That's not going to get me hired.

What if the choice is "should i keep trying to work my job that i'm probably getting laid off from eventually and might go under anyways vs just taking guaranteed money from the government" ? Your scenario doesn't necessarily reflect the choice people might be making. There's tons of uncertainty

Also you easily just tell future employees you were laid off due to the shut down - why would anybody ever question that

Also I'm not sure why Tony keeps saying stimulus. Nothing about this is a stimulus. There's barely an economy to stimulate. People aren't expected to be going out to stores to do shopping or ordering extreaneous expansions or whatever. payments are purely to keep the lights on for people at this point. It's an attempt at stasis, not an ignition.
