It is true that current emergency is not the one to be expected. But it is made much worse for the people which depend on everything to come from the employer.

It is true that current emergency is not the one to be expected. But it is made much worse for the people which depend on everything to come from the employer. If healthcare comes from a "job" - shouldn't the "job" anticipate pandemic in that case? Employers enjoy the benefits of employee's dependency during normal times, but the second things go sideways - they don't want to pay extra to guarantee medical coverage when it is needed the most.
I agree on your second point but this is a flip side of market economy that we have all subscribed to - there are good times and bad. If capitalism is the way to go, then companies that can't survive (for whatever reason) should go under. This pandemic and government decisions affect everyone equally. Lets put our money where our mouth is. Otherwise we should switch to socialism and call it a day.
