I'll not disclose where I am employed (believe it or not it's a gov't agency), anyway.... we've been instructed to have all employees report to their chain if they or a family member has symptoms of the virus. I'm awaiting the flood or phone calls that tells me we can't ask them for their family members medical information and I tend to agree.
 
To go see DUKE/NC STATE tomorrow or not???

Let's see: pay who-knows-what for a ticket to see the same story I've seen so many times (NC STate loss) with the added bonus of contracting COVID-19. I think I'll stay home.

As I posted earlier today, some of the measures that might be considered for pandemic response run smack up against state & federal laws and regulations - like HIPAA, in this case.

Meanwhile, I like the one of the response actions that the Brits are implementing...?

You’re not allowed to. Per federal regulations. Also when federal employees call in you’re only allowed to ask if they or a family member is sick and if they’re using sick leave or annual leave.
