“Straight-up bankruptcy of the State Gov’t would be best of all.”

States cannot seek protection in bankruptcy courts because they are considered sovereign states. What they can do is default on their debt which would be basically the same thing. Anyone buying state bonds right now is an idiot as they will be left holding the bag at the end of this madness.
