English term or phrase: coronavirus cliff
If they fail, they’ll face a coronavirus cliff — an even deeper collapse in spending and sky-high unemployment in the months before Election Day. That could both damage President Donald Trump’s reelection prospects and put the party’s Senate majority at serious risk.

colapso/crise


Explanation:
A tradução de "cliff" seria "penhasco", mas entendo que tem um sentido metafórico, como crise/ascensão do vírus. Portanto, eu diria, algo como "vão enfrentar um colapso do coronavírus".

Usaria essa palavra, pois a palavra subsequente "collapse" já retoma a ideia do termo anterior.

Bom trabalho!
