Gov to fund furlough scheme at 80% until October!

[caperberries]

Aibu to consider this unsustainable? What is the reasoning behind this?

Sure, but the cost to society is huge yes but the other option was 1- people carry on working and we have no chance of controlling the virus and 2- the cost of millions needing benefits and defaulting on mortgages and loans.
Many people will go back to work, some won’t I grant you- I for one think there comes a point lockdown is more harmful that the disease and we need to get back to work but I don’t begrudge furloughing
