Only 9 million people in furlough (with gov benefits); so a third of the working population. The economic shock is going to be brutal.

Don't think so for France. The state gives too good benefits and it already announced it will be maintaining paychecks for all unemployed.

However that's billions over billions of new debt taken, and it's gonna be brutal to pay back in the next decade.

Is it going to be more or less brutal than the $2 trillion in the US?
