Here’s an idea: State unemployment insurance subsidizes the wages of people who test positive COVID-19 under the condition they stay home while contagious and do not have paid sick time. Federal Reserve & Treasury agrees to backstop State UI programs to ensure their solvency.

^^ This program remains in place until CDC has declared the worst of the contagion over and/or a vaccine is developed for human use.

Automate the process by using an e-system between medical institutions and state UI to transmit positive/negative tests for verification.
