Working From Home - Impacts of Coronavirus

Try Aldi. All the supermarkets here (Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsburys, Lidl) have nothing, but Aldi had pallets of loo rolls being ignored when I was there yesterday. Maybe it's stiff crinkly stuff :)
Hmmm. Knowing my luck I've just jinxed them and they'll be sold out before I can run up there today.

Looks like I'm going to Aldi at lunch then :-DD. Worst case I have a box of reams of 70gsm A4 paper :-\
Ranayna:
I am currently working from home.
My company is not yet directly affected, but we generally want to reduce "people density".
I have to admit, while technically I have no issues, VPN works good, resources are available, I still do not really like it.
I am simply not set up for remote work at home. My laptop dock did not like my screens at all, directly attached without dock I have only one screen, which my laptop cannot drive at it's intended WQHD resolution.
And that is not even talking about the constant distractions from family members, and all the stuff that is laying around on my bench >:D
I am essentially spending 12+ hours a day in the same room. Going outside is not really an issue due to the shitty weather here.
How is the situation on the Australian west coast? I have some extensive remote sessions planned for next week in the Perth area (Oh the joys of working for a multi-national ;)) but if the scare goes around in Australia I might be able to re-schedule that...

That's the problem I have :-DD
newbrain:
I'm not infected (supposedly, as of today) but definitely affected.
I'm a long-haul commuter (Sweden resident and local employee, but working from home in Italy ~20-25%) and my firm is now advising everyone to WFH till new notice, unless you have a compelling reason to go to the offices or labs.
So I'll try and jump on a plane to Italy ASAP (there aren't many airlines still servicing Italy) and join the rest of the family, knowing full well it will be some before I can come back. I know I'm taking a risk, going to the airport and travelling (especially to Italy).
