It seems like these requirements will lead to layoffs; as some companies will find it easier/faster to get rid of staff than to change their modus operandi.
Not to mention that with so many people laid off, Management easily can think, "We'll just hire new people. It's a buyer's market." ...Though I'm not sure it actually _is_.
The more skilled the labor the less likely they are unemployed, so it depends on who you’re hiring.
I'll gladly sign up for a FAANG job to take someone's spot who is overly fearful of infection. The salary is just too good and is totally worth the risk.
