I’ve already talked to my boss about working from home. He came to my office yesterday to talk about if sick don’t come in, he’s just going to pay anyone for time they need away. I asked him if I get sick could I not just take my laptop home and work from here. I really could do most of my work from home. He said “ fine, but just come in get all your sh*t and get out and don’t touch any doors” he’s a character lol. I like him :)
I think the more people who stay at home, the better. I already usually worked from home 1-2 days/week, and the stuff I did in person can basically be done via phone for the most part. A few things that I'll need to leave for, but not much.
True, 90 percent of my job is through emails and phone. I could do my job from home. To be honest though, I’m not very good at staying motivated when home. I do like to have to get up and get ready and go in to work. I’m pretty sure by end of next week I’ll be working from home though. There was a lot of discussion on some of us doing that late Friday , but no decision made. I actually may not even have no work to do soon. I work in logistics and mostly deal with countries on other side of the world which have already pretty much shut down....no point going in if nothing to do:/ I’m going to lose my mind lol.

I know how fortunate I am that my job will still exist and that I'll be able to do most of my work from home and still be paid. I'm extremely thankful.
You'll be okay. Like me, you're already accustomed to being half nuts. :P

I feel very lucky and thankful that my employer has reacted with appropriate caution, and that I'm still able to work from home and not be without income!
I can't work from home, but I'm happy they chose to close. Nothing has been said about whether or not we'll get paid, but I would rather forego the pay than catch the virus. :)
