VW, is burning 2bill a month in cash, just by sitting idle.... Furloughing can save maybe %20 of the costs. A lot of the fixed recurring costs (costs and obligations that keep going even if you are not producing anything) make at least 30% of the producing value.... So, just for VW, if it sits idle for 6 months it will cost 12 Billion dollars..... That's just one example, but there plenty of companies with the same spot. They can absorb few months of this situation, but after that all bets are off.
