The conference room is packed and everyone looks nervous. "Starting Monday, we’re sending you all home to work for the foreseeable future. All travel of any kind is banned effective immediately." You look around the room. It is like the start of one of those movies about the apocalypse with Tom Cruise. "Has Tom Cruise ever worked in an office?" you wonder. It doesn’t matter. You look back to your boss still talking.

"The coronavirus has been officially declared a pandemic and the number of cases is rising exponentially. Avoid contact with droplets and wash your hands as much as possible. We’ve placed posters around to remind you."

Your morning coffee has gone right through you. You head to the washroom.
