Somehow zwangsurlaub sounds better - forced vacation, rather than temporarily fired!

To be clear: it is a very different thing from being fired. You would not be working with full payment. The difference to being on vacation is that you have no say in the timing.

Thanks. Being furloughed is forced to take time off without pay, so not really the same thing.

Is this due to increased testing?

I see no info wether it is or not. A big jump regardless.

I think that might be the case, because we do have increased testing capacity right now. I suspect there is going to be a bigger jump in a couple of weeks, once the people going out now start getting sick. I don’t think it’s been long enough for the people who started going out last week to be pushing up the infection numbers.

“We need to make everybody wear masks, and also we need to pin the blame on THEM for wearing the masks wrong after we profile them. Get to it.”

Weird, as a man, I’ve always thought ignorance and stupidity were sings of weakness.

Good for you and I hope it’s true! But it’s sadly the opposite for many, many I’ve encountered (who’ve clearly considered those two things signs of strength).
