This seems enormously complicated. How can the government reliably assess lost revenue? What about businesses whose expenditures were always unrealistic and a temporary closure pushed them over the edge, should they be covered too?

Note that I’m not criticizing the solution, just remarking on how hard the problem looks.

This is not overly complex. Insurance companies do similar assessments of lost revenue as part of business claims.
Shouldn't be an issue, insurance companies routinely do this.
