What ruins families more, a breadwinner losing their job due to a shutdown or spending a month in the hospital?

P.S. You're probably not getting paid wages during that month in the hospital. Have fun paying off those ICU medical bills when you get back if you still have a job somehow and weren't replaced by someone who wasn't on a ventilator.

Unemployed parents are at least around to look after the kids. A parent sick in the hospital with COVID-19 isn't working or looking after anyone.

And that's assuming that you're at 100% when discharged from the ICU. We still don't know all of the long term issues with internal organ damage from COVID-19 survivors.
