| #5 We may soon find out just how many people (not necessarily in the US) who can "work from home" after the COVID-19 measures. That teleworker in New York may find himself replaced by someone in a far-away land....at a much cheaper wage. |

| #4 I'd have thought they could work remotely... Are they going to pay the wage average for that labour or use it to depress wages? |
