My work has given us an unofficial order to work from home the next week. I'm going in tomorrow to get the lay of the land. I work for a healthcare org. in a non-clinical setting - reporting, actually. My boss asked me on Thursday to pull numbers on the amount of patients who'd answered "Yes" to questions regarding their exposure to the virus, and it was a little sobering to see!
