As an MIS tech with a login to work from home, I will be at home. In truth, I work at a hospital, and if I couldn't work from home I'd still be at home. Probably not enuf PPE for MIS people and necessary people too!

I plan to stay at home. I may work if our agency does remain open - if all is safe. I fear there may be a lot of chaos and instability from lack of law enforcement, emergency personnel, etc.

Speaking as a health care worker, a lot of us wrestle with this question, concerns for family and all. Suppose the pandemic has a greater than 50% morbidity rate?Talk is the government could step in and make work mandatory......

I will be working, but only in a place close to my home, and only with
PPE. I am certain that there will be numerous places that will need
HCW and volunteers.

Being older has its advantages so that if I am infected, I might
have a better chance of survival...

I worry more about violence towards HCW than about the actual
disease. I can protect myself somewhat from infection, but
people can be unpredictable.

I really won't need to leave, at least on a daily basis.

I had thought I probably would volunteer; but that was on the assumption there would medical treatment, vents, available if I became sick. It's a sobering thought that medical treatment of any kind might not be available.

The emotional pull to go help may override the fear.
