A government that didn't protect it's citizens - going down the herd immunity route, resulting in min 100,000 dead - wouldn't be a government for long. Every other developed country in the world is making radical interventions, because they know they have to.

Are they? out of all of the schemes other countries have offered, this is one of the most generous.

Is anyone's umbrella company paying furlough?It would be interesting to know as the best way to address it would be to change umbrella company.  I know it won't pay off for us as individuals now but when I do return to work I would rather pay my fees to an umbrella company which does it's best at times of crisis for people than one who looks after itself.

It doesn't need to be £2500 per month. It doesn't even need to be £1500 p/m. You pay people an amount that just about sees them through. However, if what you say is true, the scheme is next to useless and will be exposed as such in the coming months.
