There are likely projections all over the place about unemployment-- near and longer term. Some modeled with "reasonableness," some nonsense, some in between.

There are likely already models of costs associated with hospitalization, whether in or outside of ICU settings. CMS (Medicare) and private insurers likely already have several models and if they have insurers they likely do as well.

For hospitalization that doesn't result in death, there are likely models that attempt to estimate how many patients will be in financial strife due to the portions of healthcare costs that they must bear (that is that fall outside of coverage if they have coverage).

And there are likely models that estimate the mid- and long term costs of healthcare for hospitalization survivors that have lung damage as a result of Covid-19.

The economics involved with this pandemic... globally, are likely very complex.
