Employees value honesty in times like this, so be honest about the company’s situation and what options are being considered. If layoffs become necessary, have someone in HR (if you have an HR) help people with filing for unemployment. Etc.
ETA: Asking for input from employees can also be a very good idea.
Homeless people are going to die.

Cliffs: An urgent care’s first confirmed case was last Sunday and by Wednesday, calls to the health department weren’t even getting to voicemail. A PA who works there now recognizes they have been getting a lot of likely coronavirus cases since two weeks ago.

Not sure if I got ponied but I’m glad and kind of shocked AZ is doing this. My kid will probably still have to go to daycare though which makes me anxious as hell. Neither of us can work from home so not sure what else to do.
All bar and restaurants in NYC closed to patrons starting Tuesday. Takeout/delivery only.
Not sure how they’re all not smart enough to realize at this point it’s safe to presume all no’s for everything else are covid-19.
Mysterious viral infections are common. We don’t develop tests for every version of a cold.
Meh, not corona virus, but still funny
The flu test was only 80% accurate, so they assumed it was wrong and treated it as if it were the flu. They assumed it was not COVID-19 because no one had tested positive for it in the area yet. It was only after the first positive test that their thinking changed. So, if you want to blame the lack of testing, you’d be right.
