One of my colleagues has been infected, it's another department, so we aren't doing home office yet, but if just one of the people I came in direct contact with was also infected, I have to stay at home for two weeks. I get grounded for 2 weeks, I can't even go outside to buy food. That's a real possibility for me.
No, the world isn't going to end for 2 weeks, but I might run out of food during that time. And I don't want that.
People think it cannot affect them until it does.
