Norwegian Air is cancelling 85% of flights, and laying off 90% of staff.
This is neat... by doing this every single person can get unemployment benefit immediately.
Then when the situation has passed, you hire everyone back.
I suspect that this is how to do it... but businesses still need to borrow at low rates to pay for premises, etc in the meantime.
If you're advising people not to go out but not attempting to enforce it, aren't you killing the hospitality industry anyhow, whilst denying them any recourse to e.g. insurance?
