Maybe if everyone works from home ... at least those that can, we can also save the planet from Carbon Emissions ?
I think I will avoid public transit for a few weeks. Just in case.
I’m all set up for video and teleconferencing .... so really no need to leave the house for a few years.
Many people can work from home these days. No need to drive or fly anywhere.
At least for a few weeks.
