All these companies holding their hands out for a bail out. These cruise lines, and other companies shut down during the lockdown will all want their piece of the pie, and if they don't get it, the first thing that will go, will be the people they have sent home. Many haven't had the opportunity to work from home, and they will be the first ones to go, because companies will seek to cut their costs by having more people work from home. If they can get the same job done with less people, they'll get rid of the rest of them.

My daughter-in-law works for Geico in Indiana, in their Emergency Road Service Department. The call center has been shut down for weeks now, and they're not planning on re-opening until August 1st. My son also works for Geico, in the same department, but he's been out of work, more off, than on for a year, due to cancer surgery, 7 months of chemo, and now side effects from the chemo. They took out 78 lymph nodes during the surgery, so his immune system may never be right again.

This is what I have predicted. Due to the slowdown, many companies with workers now “working” from home will see they don’t need as many of them and many are going to lose their jobs.

Is your daughter-in-law furloughed or is she still getting paid?

That's why every time government tells nonessential personnel not to report to work, I ask why they have not got rid of them!
