This is part of having a business.
You have an implied obligation to take care of your people... of course it's not required but those times when you ask extra of people will come into play in these situations.
That's true, businesses should not only always just focus on the bottom line, but also be willing to lend a hand to help the people who help create that bottom line, especially in a situation like this. Of course there are limits to what a business can do and stay afloat, and so it's good to see that the federal government has stepped up to do its part. JT today announced a billion dollar spending package to help in various ways to try to get through this problem, including waving the week delay for people needing EI if they need to self quarantine or get laid off. Canada seems to doing much better than our neighbors to the south, with of course condolences to the man in North Vancouver who has been taken by the virus, and that seems to be in part because we have a much more efficient testing process, and again, people here with symptoms are more usually more able to stay home without worrying about next months rent. And of course we don't suffer from having a leader who thinks the whole thing is a "democratic hoax", and won't adhere to professional advice to not shake hands all day long.
