Can't go to your office to do a job you love?

Yup. That's my reality.
We belong to a fun local social group and I'm able to participate minimally due to my health and mobility needs. Now everyone is in the same boat so they're thinking outside the box and doing things like Zoom meetups. Because when healthy, able bodied people become affected by something, that's when the problem solving and alternative solutions come out.
Work from home everyone!
Stay safe and take care of your own needs.
Take plenty of time off when you're sick or your family is ill.
Financial compensation for your loss of income.
Where are all these solutions for the disabled population?
I'm talking globally here, not just in my town, state or Country.
I hope when the Coronavirus crisis is over some of these changes remain in place for the percentage of the population who could use the accommodations daily. And also that now healthy, able bodied people come away with just a bit more insight and empathy about what it's like to live every day of your life this way.
