The commute thing is real. I recall my one-hour or more subway commutes in NYC to various college campuses, and I know many Bay Area workers have moved out to the remote North Bay to find housing; that's presumably part of the pressure to extend the creaky old BART system around the head of the Bay. But also many jobs are forbidden under the shelter-in-place rules, mine included (my manager sent me a nastygram when my response to his e-mail did not include woe about the loss of pay; I just hope the store and more importantly all of us who work there survive), although those who clean necessary facilities still have to commute, usually on public transit—they're getting opprobrium in London, I notice. Big shake-up, many people simply out of work now, others adjusting to working at home, esp. with kids around, although people buying up staples such as toilet paper was wise forethought in most cases.
Be well, and stroke your cats and Carrie for me, please.
