I believe this is “business travel”. A lot of companies are shutting down non-essential business travel, because why take a chance of spreading a contagion that would put your workers at home and using insurance money that I imagine Amazon covers directly.

I’m kind of wondering when I’ll get that order. My job is very heavy travel although all domestically

That is correct I got an email today on business travels. We have to have approval to fly to China, Hong Kong and South Korea. I bet Italy will be on there Monday.

The large multi-national bank I work for has halted all travel, period.

We have offices around the world. Our partners in China, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan have all been told to work from home, our business offices are closed.

There is strong consideration under-way to do the same in Europe.

Here in the U.S. we're reviewing our pandemic plans and ensuring we have enough compute capacity for people to work from home in the event we have to close offices regionally or nationally.

I don't think it'll come to that here in the U.S. and think we're just being responsible in making sure we've planned appropriately.
