That said, they actually ARE looking into the potential of people working from home if they had to because of an outbreak.  We're in a rather low risk area but they just want to get their ducks in a row.   Oddly enough our whole office just got some kind of nasty virus, including myself.  Some kind of sore throat and coughing virus with intense fever, was pretty nasty.  Obviously not deadly like covid-19 but it's a grim reminder just how fast stuff like that can happen and spread.

I was in Ottawa about a month ago and I'll bet I got that exact same sickness!  Started with a sore throat, rapidly moved to intense fever with the worst headache I've had in a long time, and the headache lasted 2 days even with meds.  Turned into horrible coughing, I didn't even sleep one night because I couldn't stop coughing.  I felt like total crap for a week and didn't feel completely back to normal until 2 weeks later!!!

We had that as well. Took out half the company. No casualties. Fortunately I was working from home so not affected. I suspect this is about as bad as covid-2019 would be.

I’m going shopping in a rather busy place today. Interested to see how busy it is compared to normal.

No casualties?  You forget to mention the thousands of kleenex that gave their lives to save you :P

The kleenex were already dead. It was poor defenceless trees who gave their lives.

We'll be giving our juice back to the trees one day. They always win.
