I mean they can do what was done to me "you've been placed on mandatory furlough, you can apply for unemployment or tap into your PTO/sick time. otherwise good luck having an income until further notice."

People will do exactly what you pay them to do. To think otherwise is willfully ignorant. Any government not passing measures to inject income, or suspend billing for essential services (mortgage, power, water, etc.), is guaranteeing the spread of this thing.

In DC they also cut down on the metro times so now even more people are crammed on each train

Obligatory edit: I just heard this from my wife who heard something about it on the news. I don't even take the metro unless I'm going to a Caps game. People commenting who have actually been taking the metro in DC are saying it's mostly empty because everyone is teleworking. So don't listen to a word I say. Stay safe!
