I don't think it's clear that 40% of "critical" workers will be out.

And not only that, the 40% figure is supposed to be the guess at the entire workforce and at the peak of a pandemic. The day to day absentee rate may be significantly lower.

With regard to military personnel, I would think that the National Guard (who are prioritized in Tier 2) would serve the role you described. That would be a State and local issue as the National Guard is a State asset. Good point.
