Some workers are already going back homeJPMorgan Chase sent some of its workers home this week after an employee in its trading unit in Midtown Manhattan tested positive for the coronavirus, a person familiar with the matter told DealBook. Mr. Trump’s tweet politicized a decision that JPMorgan, and other companies, would probably like to make without such fanfare. The case numbers in New York are down, which could make people more comfortable with coming in; the same can’t be said about London, for example. When, if ever, will workers get used to the cycle of going to the office until a new case emerges and they are told to stay home? Is it better just to deal with the consequences of remote working until there is a vaccine?
