Yes, but Unemployment is for those who were laid off. Someone who just quits and walks off a job can't qualify for Unemployment.
Should this apply to people working in jobs that expose them to a high level of risk of catching covid19? For example, meat packers, low-level hospital workers, grocery store checkers, etc. Especially those with pre-existing conditions or vulnerable family members at home? Or are they required to risk their life for $9/hour or become destitute?

Some states are doing that. Your mileage will very with the specific state you are in.

In addition, when we get on the other side of COVID 19 and open the economy back up, there's going to be a mad rush for whatever jobs might be available. I would NOT advise anyone sitting on Unemployment for a long period of time.
That's not what happened. Lots of people got laid off then the government passed a law where companies could get loans to rehire them. But because of the boosted benefits people don't want the jobs back.

Some won't want their jobs back however it allows an opportunity for others to take those jobs
Technically no. But politically this is game the corporations are playing here.
They purposely are paying so low - non-living wage incomes to shame our government into making policy decisions that are actually more helpful when in reality, they are the issue. Realize that Walmart's of the world love that we debate this while they pay everyone near minimum wage.

I don't know about other states, but here in FL you do have to answer the question, "Have you turned down an offer for work?"
So, if an employee declined their employer's offer to return to work, they'd no longer be eligible for benefits.
"... here in FL you do have to answer the question, "Have you turned down an offer for work?"
And that's why the smart worker always checks "No." Who has the manpower to check up on this stuff? Nobody.
Yeah, going to go ahead and pass on committing fraud. Plus, you know, the state doesn't have to check up if the former employer shares that info.
