Should the govt be able to force you to go to work during a pandemic?

Yes Presidents can try and force striking employee's to return to work but this is completely different.

Consider the following scenario's. 

Virus just as contagious but far more deadly.   Say 30% mortality rate across the board age wise.  Similar to the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic. 

Scenario 1.   No treatment, no vaccine.   Can some essential workers be forced to go to work?  What would you do if considered essential and the fed/state or local gov said you must go to work to avoid a complete breakdown of the system regarding food/water, utilities and what not?

Scenario 2.  Fauci said early on the worst case thing that could happen with a rapid vaccine development is the vaccine causes a hyper immune response to a future variant and creates a much higher mortality rate in those vaccinated than those unvaccinated.  I believe this occurred somewhat with young healthy people without a vaccine with the Spanish Influenza.   Could the govt force those unvaccinated to stay that way and be the only ones to go to work?

Scenario 3.  Govt picks and chooses healthy people in essential positions and from the get go mandates they cannot get the vaccine just in case scenario 2 occurs.  This way many essential systems can stay up and running.

All scenarios:

No, the government should not be able to force anybody, in any profession, at any time to work or “go back to work”……ever.  They should also not pay for those choosing to not work, whatever the reason.
