Everyone in the group is WFH. The only increase is in grocery store visits which we try to minimize with venmo.
We too canceled our Daycare and Cleaners (although we continue to pay them because we want to support local businesses and our pay has not been interrupted). Everyone else in the group has done the same.
EDITED: You are 100% correct in that this is limited to the weakest point in the chain which is whoever breaks the rules and unavoidable exposure (grocery store visits and gas station visits). But what is that percentage increase? I suspect our chance of getting COVID-19 from the grocery store is 3x whatever going to the grocery store is. Which we all use the same stores and the same people are there so if there is an infection there it's likely less that 3x due to that fact.
You can't reduce your exposure 100% you can minimize as much as possible while trying to keep the economy going as much as possible. This is the balance we've struck. If we couldn't do this, we wouldn't get the hours in we need to in order to continue to pay the cleaners/daycare.
I'll also point out I'm not in a shelter in place state. If that guidance comes out I'm not sure this will keep going. We re-evaluate every week.
EDIT: If anyone in the group wasn't WFH and wasn't grocery store only operation my family wouldn't do this. We'd deem that as too much exposure.
