Strictly speaking factories were allowed to be open yes.... but politically, most had to close for fear of a very public backlash.
And yes... AML are using the very useful furlough scheme as a (relatively) cheap way to pause production, clear dealer stocks and create demand - and at the same time perhaps avoiding costly short term distancing measures they'd have to implement if opening production sooner.
Clever stuff if you ask me, making the best of a bad situation.
