I had a gov’t job for years where I was emergency/essential personnel. I was expected to show up or at least try very hard even when the rest of the gov’t was closed. One day when we had about a foot of snow I couldn’t get in. After that I bought a big SUV and never missed a day for weather.

The days that the gov’t was closed, trust me, it was a wise decision. The streets were impassable and I’m sure many lives were saved by telling people to stay home.
