Otherwise they would have made the number 4000.
JMHO
I'd even go further, if you're missing 75-90% of your revenue for 3-4 months and that's going to continue with no bailout I'd expect them to send out 14000 notices. Unfortunately it's not a charity.
With that said I believe it'll come back and so do they, so I'm really not worried about a takeout furlough or a short term furlough.
