It was very clear early in lockdown that some being furloughed may ultimately end up jobless. The more thoughtful may have realised that they should have spent some time gaining new and different skills - sadly I suspect most did not.
Furlough is unaffordable long term - a very generous scheme where for many 80% of income, and saving commuting, child care costs etc may have left them financially better off.
The expected relaxation of lockdown is a high risk strategy to at least give most small businesses a chance. With 2M distancing restaurants, pubs, cinemas etc would be limited to around 25% capacity - at 1M they may get to around 70%.
Most businesses will survive at 70% capacity - eg: on most nights most restaurants are trading well below 70% capacity and it is only on 1 or 2 nights a week it would be a constraint.
The new normal may be very different to the old - work from home, online shopping and delivery, investment to reduce complexity and length of overseas supply chains, etc. Behaviours and attitudes may change - live to work, or work to live. This may lead to greater job sharing, reduced hours jobs .
It is a mistake to view the future as a series of negative events - there are opportunities for change which can improve rather than diminish individuals and society. What separates this recession from others is that it was created over just two month, other recessions (2010, 1990s, 1980s) reflected fundamental weaknesses not easily reversed.
