If the R0 is anywhere near 3-5 then we should be seeing significant worldwide outbreak clusters in the next week or so right? If the communicable incubation period really is ~ 2 weeks.

I'm a transmission grid engineer and I will 100% be working even if the entire country is collapsing or boarded up. My wife stays home with our young kids. I'll probably start changing in the garage before/after work, showering right after I get home, and not overlapping my home and work life at all. Thankfully I usually work alone or with a couple electricians at most. It'll be weird if things go the way they're predicting.

Also a poo poo ton of that stuff is automated and they can function with a skeleton crew if the only goal is maintaining service.

It's this. If/when poo poo hits the fan, my power transmission company will probably cancel all non-essential work (maintenance, testing, grid modernization, etc) and just man every substation with 1 or 2 guys and just focus on keeping the lights on. I'll be here, shitposting while watching the displays and colored lights.

anyway he put in his retirement papers on 1/1, he walks out the door at the end of march, and his 401k is making GBS threads the bed and it's too late to take it back, he has to walk away from the table lmao

Just had a meeting with my company HR, and just like the CDC, they're not concerned unless you recently traveled to one of the big infection countries. It's laughably reactive and doesn't address the initial asymptomatic/communicable period. America doesn't care unless you just came back from China/Korea/Italy and you're coughing up a lung.
