COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

We need to shutdown everything beyond absolutely critical services nation-wide and we should have done it a month ago.

DC is closing non-essential businesses until April 24. Schools are closed until then too. I’m an essential employee who responds to complaints and emergencies for an agency with no telework policy. I am now on 4 days per week telework with one day in the office to keep staff on hand at 20%. I can do 90% of my job teleworking thankfully. I would not be surprised if there is a reduction in force for many government employees in DC and the nation following this outbreak. The tax revenue impact of Covid-19 is going to be staggering.
