The current international climate due to Coronavirus had me thinking about the commandment of control. While @MJ DeMarco wasn’t referring to natural disasters (I use natural disaster as that’s how it’s defined in terms of making business decisions here in Australia) when talking about the commandment it got me thinking about the impact this situation is having on business.

How this situation has impacted your business or project? Have you ever considered analysing or putting a plan in place we’re a natural disaster to occur? Will you be able to ride this whole thing out?

Personally, I have had to stand down my work force, not fire them but send them home essentially until the lock downs have relaxed. I’m fortunate enough to be able to ride this out business wise, but it’s hard having to be forced to send my employees home without pay with all this uncertainty. But having all the work dry up in a matter of days has forced my hand.

Are there any other stories out there?
