Georgia Speaker urges public to stay home from Capitol amid COVID-19

Washing one’s hands, avoiding coming within six feet of sick people, and staying home (both to take it easy and avoid getting other’s sick) is just good sense.

It’s also a total departure from the domestic cultural approach to illness. Americans are strongly discouraged from taking sick days, even when they are sick. The expectation is that a motivated worker will show up to work, no matter what.

Quite a shift!
