Just an idea but why don't we focus our resources in helping older aged (50+ years) or high-risk population to stay at home through government income + delivery of essential goods and start opening up the economy to younger working population that do not have direct exposure to said high-risk population (ie. you don't live with your parents). As far as I understand, hospitalization is concentrated in older population so this approach would be preventing hospitals from getting overrun as most younger healthy population are able to overcome the virus at home if they become infected. Also, I think this would allow the government to replace a higher portion of lost income for high-risk population that has to stay home, instead of spraying the whole working population with CERB, because $2000/month doesn't even cover mortgage payment for a lot of families.
