Orgs who are now Remote Work Only (in Puget Sound):

Microsoft
Facebook
Google
Amazon
Boeing
University of Washington classes (Covid research has been given priority).

Gov. Jay Inslee has canceled all public events larger than 250 people for the next month.

I think that Covid will be a game-changer for remote work, but it will also be VERY disruptive. I've written about this on Medium:
