For posterity, a few charts on cost per month of a few ideas:

First, here's the cumulative share of the labor force sorted by occupational contact intensity (proxy for Covid risk). Would cost $108bn per month to pay wages of those in high contact occupations.
Here's cumulative cost of payroll support per month by business size ($251bn per month for biz with fewer than 500 employees)
And here's cost of 100% revenue replacement per month by business size. Extraordinarily expensive relative to payroll cost replacement as payroll typically is about 20% of total cost.
