I'm not surprised that so many people have been judgemental - there were very similar views about the unemployed before Covid. If anything good can come of all this, it might be that as more people will experience first-time unemployment (whether first hand or at a step or two removed) they will have more sympathy with those who have to live on benefits.
I found it interesting/shocking that at a time when people who were out of work because of closures or shifts in the economy were expected to live on £90 a week or so, those who were unable to work because of Covid got up to £2600 a month on furlough. A cynic might think that the government didn't want the middle classes to realise how difficult it is to manage on benefits, in case they lost their support base of people who see all claimants as scroungers and fraudsters.
