I think corona has meant there are no pickers this year. Perhaps you can return to your roots and demand a better salary :)

Here in Päijänne Tavastia, there was recently a cluster of Covid-19 cases among the pickers. They were from the Ukraine.
I still think that this corona isn't much of an issue - next one might be worse - but we have already cried wolf.
It's too early to say what kind of an issue it will be globally. Too little is known about the virus and the disease itself.
There are now a million confirmed cases in India.
This is what the graph showing the total number of cases for India looks like.
The same for the USA
A lot depends on how many cases are asymptomatic or have only mild symptoms and are thus never diagnosed. That is simply unknown. If the proportion of those is large, then the virus will be hard to stop but there will be much less need to do so. If the proportion is small, those who are opposed to any social distancing measures and enhanced hygiene will cause major harm because with some discipline the virus could be stopped and it would not cause a lot of deaths and health problems that may last much longer than a few weeks in some cases.
