Q. What happens if a society that kills people for not working faces a virus that makes people have to stop working or die?

Keep in mind as you answer: it's possible for this hypothetical society to easily change so as to NOT kill people for not working, that is 100% an option.
I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that most people really think it would be a bad thing if everybody's material needs were taken care exclusive of whether or not they work, and really would prefer it if people who don't work die.

Change this mentality, change the world.
Addendum: wealth is seen as fungible with work.

If you've got wealth, you're seen as productive even if you didn't work for it and you never do a thing.

And productivity is necessary, if you want to earn life.

Change this mentality, change the world.
