I have isolated myself from my family until this is over as long as I am working. Not ideal but I don’t expect someone else to do my job for me because of risk. Life is risk anyway.
if you’re scared to go to work (your words) then you’d arguably not be fit to fly. If you’re stressed out about family life maybe you’re not fit to fly. Just being devils advocate here. No one really needs to go Palm Springs, vegas, et al right now. This is not a war.
