Even if the furlough scheme manages to close in October (which is not guaranteed) there will still be restrictions. Working from home, mass gatherings, etc.
Obviously, we know capitalists really like corporate socialism so Comrade Rishi doesn't want to stand there and promise it longer term and have some companies continue to rely on it unnecessarily. In October they will want to keep it to a minimum where those businesses can't open for safety reasons rather than commercial ones.

l suspect there will be a ban on mass gatherings until a vaccine for the virus is found so we could be talking about a fairly long period before mass gatherings are allowed again.

Re: Coronavirus
The virus has been found in sperm:

Let's hope that it can't be sexually transmitted. Having said that, if people are making love, they will be in very close contact anyway, so it might not make much difference.

BREAKING: Cable Forum Co-owner, Mick, has tested “Negative” for Covid-19.
I was tested earlier this week and will be tested on a regular basis with working in the healthcare sector.
Phew. For now.
