"Times are tough now. It is impossible to find warehouse workers because of the coronavirus. I can't even get any temps." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect …pic.twitter.com/mnzgGqdlgU

contrarian take: we want less people working in warehouses (and other indoor environments), so making warehouse labor more expensive means only those truly willing to pay will draw workers indoors ?
It's not the coronavirus that's causing people not to show up to work, it's the $600/week extra in unemployment. Most warehouses are very well ventilated with limited social interaction.

yeah i get it's the money but the fact it's hard to find labor at normal wages means only businesses willing to pay more will get people to come work in warehouses which, given how we want social distancing etc., is not a bad short term outcome?

For meat plants, elevator operators, nurses, etc. I agree with you, but not really for warehouses. With proper management it's really hard to catch the coronavirus in a warehouse. You just keep your distance, wear a mask, and you're fine.
