It has not hit my state yet, but I plan on telling the boss that I am not coming in until they have a vaccine and that we can all work from home anyway. I'm OCD and a germophobe, unless of course, my own germs are fine. But I never touch door handles at work and struggle to shake hands with anyone. Hoping my company gets on board.

Being your kind of company that requires people coming into the office... there really is no way to prevent it. One day someone can be somewhere, and walk into the path of a sneeze, or touch a door handle, and that's it. Brings it back to the office the next day. Anyone with kids... that just goes to show you how fast it can spread.

Anyone else taking notes for the zombie apocolypse?

Current expert predictions are that appropriate vaccines are a minimum of 18 months away so good luck with that!

One can dream! I do show up to work even in sickness!
