This is great for workers and also bad for workers. For many, this will be a safety net they will need to get through this. For others this means they are getting let go.

Like for example I am a small business owner. I simply cannot pay 10 weeks of 2/3 pay if I'm not receiving any revenue. I don't have 2 and a half months of pay in the bank. I'm barely making month-to-month. Meanwhile no one is coming to my business because they're all locked down at home. I have several people out and I'm cutting checks to them and meanwhile zero revenue to back that up. How long can I survive as a charity? So I fire everyone and shut down and keep my business license to re-open later.
