Coronavirus COVID19

It started on the other side of the world and has left a lot of people in its wake but the virus is finally in the US. While it is scary in its own right, it is terrifying to see the panic and pandemonium happening.

It is times like these that are scarier than anything else on my job. With 9 branches and 150 employees, I’m nervous about making the right decision. Schools are closed so parents have no where for kids to be, they can't come to the office, we don't work from home because of security reasons, what do you do? I also hate the idea that some employees (backoffice or higher paid) can work from home but others can't (tellers).

Today was a big day of questions and what to do's. Employees are scared--their families are scared. People have turned this into a political issue and everyone is commenting from behind their screens, safely at home, with things that they would never say to each other.
