I disagree, at least to the point where our jobs would be in jeopardy in the long term, but with the way things are if you're seriously thinking about bailing, I'd use this time in the economic downturn to possibly learn another skill. No time like the present and all.
As for OP, this is gonna happen to you a few more times, you might be in a better position later, you might not. Always have a backup plan, even if it's just enough to limp you through a few months. Contrary to what you might be hearing, the industry will still exist after all of this is over, and there will be jobs, the question right now is when those jobs will open up again.
