Yeah, I can see how it could become an issue. I'm in academia so my circumstances have been different. I'm not a tenured professor or anything yet so I don't have complete independence, but I've been blessed to fulfill my responsibilities from home/virtually. It looks like the course I'm going to teach next spring will probably be virtual so I don't think I'll run into this conflict before this virus runs its course.
Having said that, I've been convinced for some time now that we are entering a time in which we will see the dissolution of our society on a number of fronts. It seems that our only political options are division (secession) or massive violence (maybe both). Eventually, most of us are going to have to make hard decisions and sacrifices. I'm not in a great position to do this, but I intend to move as much to a self-reliant, self-sustaining lifestyle as possible for when the seams finally rip apart. There's so much uncertainty in the air that I don't think we've experienced something quite like it in our lifetimes.
