Nearly all staff for the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, will be placed on leave Friday night, the agency announced on its website Tuesday night. Earlier in the day, all overseas missions for USAID had been ordered to shut down, and all staff recalled by Friday, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News.
The statement notes that all "direct-hire personnel" will be placed on leave with exceptions for those on "mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs." Those considered exceptions will be notified by USAID leadership by 3 p.m. ET Thursday, and further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming, the email said.

Don’t worry folks...only 2 weeks to flatten the curve.

So some bureaucrats will not be spending more money financed by an ever-increasing national debt.
Sounds just fine.
And some recipients of the bureaucrats' largess will not get their "daily entitlement bread."
Sounds just fine.
And some like some of those bureaucrats might be soon working somewhere else, outside of government.
Sounds just fine.

You presuppose that they actually “work” now.

I was thinking the same thing. I predict a bunch of admirals and generals will be gone. It will be BIG.
I think Gen. Flynn and other warriors have been busy.

USAID's workforce totals more than 10,000, with about two-thirds of that staff serving overseas, according to the Congressional Research Service

Probably are several dozen Schmidt’s at USAID that are packing as I type.
