I am not sure that >"mandate giving service workers more paid sick days and actually enforce the laws against making them come in while sick" , is an alternative to what I suggested earlier > "... word wide self quarantine should be written into laws of public health. May be every 5 years or so, for 1.5 months stop all non-essential travel, work commute, public gatherings and so on...". With regards to your note on >"... lots of crazy leftist policies .. ." In my view, centralized control of public health, appears to be a bottleneck to rapid response (not just because of process structuring, but also because massive centralization of money appropriation mandate, becomes a mechanism for unstoppable corruption spread, and non-meritocracy based promotions). I never heard that conservatives are against telecommuting... If anything there is, probably, a conservative sentiment against massive urbanization and globalization of supply lines.
