Surely a business like yours will be hammered anyway? Not like there's any way for people to work from home.
I really meant things like offices etc trying to come up with elaborate 'work from home' systems rather than just accepting that the nature of a pandemic means productivity will take a hit (and that a pandemic doesn't somehow obliterate the legal requirement to give sick leave). In some sense they're acting rationally within the current economic system, but that in itself is part of the problem.
