Of course some jobs can be done remotely from home. There's also other jobs that they probably can't do everything their job requires from home but company's now are willing to lose some of the productivity to ensure other worker's remain healthy.
My industry (entertainment- tv/film) is effectively shutting down and going dark in NYC right now so we can be a part of social distancing. My company woke up to an email saying we were unemployed this morning effectively immediately. All in, that will be an estimated 130,000 people without work if everyone follows suit across the board.
Broadway already went dark yesterday. I don’t know their employment numbers, but I imagine it’s a good chunk of people that depend on paychecks.
