Companies and schools should be asking people to wfh or at least allow the option due to #coronavirus. It would have already started spreading if there was a case and that would be too late, putting people in much higher risk, causing much more loss.

Asking people to stay home would truly prevent it from spreading and this is how China succeeded at containing it. If international/domestic traveling is not banned by the government, all employees/students going to work/school are at risk. Evidence shown the virus spreads through A/C (cases on the cruise) and public transportation is obviously another common way for virus to spread.

What’s wrong with US?

    If this happens, it will be the greatest social experiment in mankind.

    How are you going to tell people who are always out to stay home for 2 - 4 months? Introverts are going to win this battle. Extroverts are going to go crazy.

    When people face the music that they have to stay home. WFH. Kids, Chores, laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc all in one day; It’s going to be a lot of sex, drugs, fights, and rock and roll.

    A lot of people are going to go nuts.

      Why wouldn’t you still be able to offload day to day things to other individuals?

      OP
      What if staying home now for a few weeks can prevent wide spreading of the disease which has no vaccine and no treatment for a few months? If normal life remains, one person will spread to more than 2 people on average. The total cases will grow exponentially. Wait, it’s already happening. Today we have more than 300 cases, the fourth day after US surpassed 100 cases. US could become the second Wuhan, or worse.

    Day 13 since we passed 100 cases in the US. We are at 3,500+. But the pattern in the above graph indicates between 5k and 10k. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s that case given the limited number of test kits...
