      I might be able to recover a portion of my UI, but it’s not certain And how the heck am I supposed to launch my business or find a job in such troubled times?

        I was supposed to start my first contract for my new business in April but because of the pandemic and delays in local elections in France, it’s somewhat on hold (but probably *not* cancelled, AFAIK)
