I personally am watching others around me do what I consider "overreacting". Once it starts spreading locally though, the response will be reasonable.
The biggest gain in working from home is not protecting yourself, but the spread to all of your coworkers and then to all of the next infections beyond them leading to actual deaths.

We in the tech industry often have jobs where we can stay home with no impact, so, why not do it now? * There's probably a 100% chance I'll get it at some point, I just don't fear severe consequences from it.
