It's ok to be scared, but you have to work. Or become like the airline industry with total layoffs. We've sent men to die in war by force. Conscription was in both WW2 and WW2. They were scared to. For almost all people working age this is just the flu. We have gone to far in the wrong direction on this You will get it. Yes you might be scared for the elderly, or you have issues at home, but they will be worse jobless.

Comparing conscription in a world war with building a low-volume electric luxury car is totally ridiculous. This is not “being scared for the elderly”. Without agressive measures including shutting down non-essential businesses like healthcare, food etc. (which a Tesla car most certainly is NOT) the death count will number in the millions in the United States alone [1] https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/3-charts-that-changed-coronavirus-policy-in-the-uk-and-us/ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/3-charts-that-changed...

  This article is about "Tesla employees have to use PTO to get paid if they're staying home" You are talking about something else. There are hundreds of other threads about government policy, I am specifically talking about the care of direct relatives, and specifically talking about a persons employment which is what this thread is about.

You say that from the comfort of writing a HN post. Do you have much at stake to make such a condescending suggestion?

  I will catch it like everyone else obviously. It probably will kill someone close to me like everyone else obviously. I advocate for Tesla not having to fire everyone just because it's just a silly car factory. What are you advocating for? If people don't work, they will lay off all of them. This is a 12 month ordeal. Are you from somewhere where fired people have healthcare etc? Because I find that condescending.
