[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't we doing telework and closing schools in the DMV?  It's like people are closing their eyes and ears and trying to wish this away. If something isn't done immediately our health care system will be overrun. And don't tell me this is just a cold. They don't shut down the economy of China for a cold. It's like we're saying we're fine with thousands dying. [/quote]

We should be teleworking.  I'm not sure what the government is waiting for.  I'm guessing a large chunk of government employees take the metro.  Why would they want people on crowded metro cars at this point.  Let people telework at least for the next month until they have a better sense of how wide spread this is.  The federal government's response has been slow on all fronts, basically passing up the window of opportunity for containment.  We can fully shut down the government for a month for a wall that will never be built, but we can't authorize telework to stop deaths and our healthcare system from being overwhelmed?  Tell government employees to telework and limit social contact, and focus our resources on testing retirement homes and having plans to help those most vulnerable.  [/quote]

This is more realistic. Start with the federal employees in position to telework. Then expand as needed, as obviously private sector will fight closures or telework commands if it affects their bottom line. Versus federal agencies can't go against orders from above. [/quote]
