This is a problem other places are having, too. Some employees just refuse to go to work because they are too scared. That's not a reason to stop going to work. If you suddenly become agoraphobic and refuse to leave your house, is it on your employer to keep paying you until you stop being scared? Hell no. They fire your ass and get someone else.
Maybe these places are going to have a large overturn, but look how many people out there just lost their jobs and want to work. I can't imagine they will have a hard time replacing the sheep.
And as for "they will just make more on unemployment", not right now they won't. Entire states are turning away unemployment cases left and right because they are quickly running out of money. A job is a huge commodity to have right now.
This might not be the answer, but at this point, what is? We have states warning that they may not reopen their economies for the next 2 years. You think this is just going to pass, there's a strong likelihood it won't. At least not before a lot of these places shutter for good.
I know this would be abused, and I don’t have a solution for that, BUT I would support people being qualified for unemployment if they are in a high risk group and their employer can’t isolate them (like in a meat processing line) and therefore can’t return to work.
