Wow Blu, that sounds terribly stressful! Thank you for your service to the community in this difficult time and may your workload be lessened very soon!

Regarding staying home, I am pretty angry about that. My boss is old school and thinks people are goofing off if they work from home. He directed us to keep going to the office even though we could work from home. Two women that work here are pregnant for crying out loud!! I work in Dallas and Dallas County passed a shelter-in-place order. Well guess what, my boss decided that since we do design work for a telecom company that the order doesn't apply to us and wants us to STILL come to the office. I'm here today but I just flat-out told him I'm going to be working from home for a while, I'm very fit and healthy but at 58 I really can't afford to take chances with my life. But I have to balance that with keeping an income flowing, one of my daughters lost her job yesterday and the other just survived a first wave of lay-offs but more are on the way. These are very difficult times for everyone but especially those in your profession.
