I disagree. Free speech by definition only protects one's expression of opinion. It does not, however, protect how you express that opinion, nor does it protect non-opinion assertions.
For example it does not protect lies.
It does not protect hate speech
It does not protect calls to action
It does not protect inciting violence.

I hope everyone is doing well. If your job gave you the ability to work from home, use this as an opportunity to show them how much more productive you can be without having to come into an office. Don't prove their fears that people they can't see aren't working. Silver lining might be more remote working positions... :)
The pandemic paradox
Should we manage to contain, people will say „all of these measures were bullshit. It worked. Why all of this?“
If we fail they‘ll say „Nobody could have planned for that and it all failed anyway!“

I decided to give a try with some talk-therapy. Nothing particularly troubling going on in my life, just thought it was worth trying and see how I may improve from it.
I am trying out an online service rather than in person and the therapist is int he USA. I have to say im really troubled by the policies in the USA regarding therapy. Specifically that a therapist is not allowed to legally treat you unless you provide contact information so if they think you are a threat to yourself or to others they can basically get you committed against your will. Its a requirement and if you wont give it they wont give you therapy.
This seems astoundingly reckless as a policy. for starters it would cause anyone who is suicidal to avoid the help they need, and second, it puts people at risk of either not being candid with their therapist or potentially being abused by the therapist if they misinterpret some perceived risk.
While I have never been suicidal I also dont trust anyone with that level of power over me. I am barely a few minutes in to therapy and already I was forced to lie about my name and identity. Something I should not need to do, I should have a right to privacy and anonymity if I chose.
what if self-isolation is long term?
This article suggests that self-isolation isn't a short term thing... it'll be the new norm for a long time, maybe 1.5 years or so. This will lead to permanent changes in habits. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/615370/coronavirus-pandemic-social-distancing-18-months/
There are a lot of jobs that I'm just not sure how we're going to replace. Waitstaff is one. Retraining many things for delivery may be possible but I'm not sure.
I expect to see a lot of moves from large cities to more rural areas with larger living spaces.
