How critical is the job loss in Tech because of corona virus lockdown

What exactly do you mean by "critical"? Do you mean "expansive" maybe? This site tracks startup layoffs: https://layoffs.fyi/tracker/

I'm a tech worker at a large non-tech industry company. So far, there are not any layoffs.

If the economy goes down further or stagnates for more than 6 months, then layoffs are an option. I also heard similar from a friend working at another large company.
