Writing practice: covid-19

Covid-19 has ravaged countries around the world. The death rate is particularly high in some countries partly because the virus has cut a swathe through nursing homes, many of which lack medical stuff and staff.

Employees in hotspot regions have been cooped up in their houses. Unable to work from home, some are sacked by employers on the brink of bankruptcy. In some countries like US, its labour laws have given employers leave to cull jobs. Others employees are furloughed, being put on unpaid leave.

Some industries have too many workers, whereas others do not have enough. To keep the labour market relatively fluid, some firms encourage their inactive workers to switch jobs to fill temporary vacancies in other industries. Amid a shortage of migrant labour, airline employees are needed to work in hospitals; and rural bar staff could do some farmwork, switching from pulling pints to pulling up potatoes. Industries with such a scheme could reap the harvest because as social-distancing measures recede and the disease-specific demand ebbs workers can return to their old jobs quickly and firms do not need to suffer the ordeal of rehiring.

As a general rule, avoid using the word "stuff" on any kind of text, unless it's very informal. It's use here is correct, however it detracts from the overall aesthetic value.

"Switching from pulling pints to pulling up potatoes" is a fantastic phrase.
