This can be a thread for those of us who do not normally work from home, but have shifted to work from home due to COVID.

I work for a large corporation which has not yet sent "the email," but I expect will very soon. In any event, I will need to go in on Monday, but after that will probably work from home.

Schools are closing here and I expect daycares will announce closures shortly. I've lined up one babysitter, and am working on a second. We plan to keep my kids at home with their cousins. Five kids total, so will require two babysitters.

Anyone else in this boat?

I always work full time from home.
Not sure what I’ll do with 6 kids home

Yep, I’m home. Work for a college that is closed. My job really can’t be done from home so I’m unsure of what to really do moving forward. My kids are also home but they’re teens and can entertain themselves. But I think we will all be going stir crazy soon.
