There is more to the story than the mass fear generating headlines.
So what is your contention? Open the borders to all and sundry? Allow the elderly and immunocompromised to be the sacrificial lambs for the sake of preserving our high paying jobs?
Speaking as a stood down pilot, I have zero issue with taking 12-18 months of reduced/no pay for the sake of the greater good.
Use this period to spend time with family, work in another industry, study or simply have a break and get into a normal sleeping routine.
