#2 Thanks, Frank, you've saved me the trouble. Although, I would have noticed because I can't read or speak Australian.

#4 Well I just read that unemployed Americans are getting 600$ extra per week, thus often getting more than they would if working.

And you call US socialists?

#7 EC, I have a few of my former employees apply to unemployment compensation here in Ohio. Former as in not employed by my company prior to 3/1/2020. A lot of them were allowed/denied/supervisor allowed or denied altogether. It was not easy to get unemployment especially if your current or former employer disputed the claim. If you quit your job in fear of C-19 you had a real hard time getting benefits (from the state). A Few employees who were granted unemployment by the state received (usually) small weekly amounts. They may have gotten the $600 from the Feds, but, they didn't get much from employers who challenged the claims. Employers who did not challenge the claims got hosed. Fed unemployment claims have not been reported to individual employers so I can't speak to how much they were receiving. Hope that helps.

#8 Thanks, that was interesting.
We have made it through fine up to now. Many of our employees are still working from home and check in once a week.
