1. The virus could infect a high percent of people.
2. Those who get it and recover will come back into the labour market whether it be paid or voluntary.
3. If the elderly and vulnerable are isolated and taken out of the equation for even a while it must help to some degree.
This of course does not help those who lose paid employment but surely those organisations that will keep going no matter what will be seeking staff. Obviously cannot train a doctor or a nurse by handing out a pamphlet but many will have more than adequate qualifications for other work.
