In many other developed countries there is some kind of furlough scheme in place. Like here in the UK - businesses which can’t remain open (or have to temporarily downscale) can opt to place their staff on furlough and have their wages paid by the government through to the end of this year.


I've never understood the exact mechanics/limits of those schemes, but that is exactly what I was missing as it's (literally) a foreign concept to me. Thank you.
