NO ONE is going to make the decision for you. YOU need to make that call.
Think about who is in your household or immediate contact, and If they have any underlying issues.
Healthcare is becoming and will quickly progress to overwhelm. They will be prioritizing.
Customers at my work were still bringing their vehicles in for things that were absolutely not critical.
The employees were concerned but worried about disrupting the routine.
If one person steps up and says to their boss "I'm concerned about who i may spread this thing to if i continue to work here", others will follow and soon it won't be tenable to keep the doors open.
The more doors that close, the less services will be available for people to just go about daily life and risk spreading this.
I hold my work in the highest regard, and i am a critical component of my workplace.
There are many workers there over the age of 70 still going in. Sometimes you have to force the hand when people won't do it on their own.
I could live with making a decision that others there may be upset over. But not the repercussions of ignoring a decision i should have made.
If you're in that same boat, please think of those things. Thank you.

Unfortunately, CADA wants to mark car dealerships as an essential service. I'm more than onboard with doing critical repairs or reduced hours, but right now it feels like people are bringing their vehicles in for non-essential maintenance because they're WFH and have too much time on their hands. But I'm infinitely more concerned about the people coming in as if nothing is wrong, or outright refuting the presented information as bullshit.
