Note that I don't think life insurance is an actual trade-off for a living parent or spouse, it's just a way of mitigating some of the economic impact.

If we have to indemnify companies against the responsibility of the risks assumed by their workers in opening up this early, IT IS TOO EARLY TO OPEN UP.
If it is too early to open up, then we need other, stronger, better relief measures, measures which Murderous Mitch McConnell and Killin' Kevin McCarthy refuse to entertain until we agree to let businesses work people to death during the hazardous period.
