to teach his classes and attend committee meetings until 8pm tonight. He could easily teach online, and the committee meetings could be conducted online too.

I just make sure to ask him if he has gloves (he takes public transportation) and sanitizer, and to remind him to wash his hands before and after class. But it makes me uncomfortable.

Still, I realize we are in a privileged situation. At least there is a possibility that he will be able to work from home. So many in vital service industries and retail can not do so.
