I wrote out a long and sarcastic post about this but I think its more appropriate to just say this. Please, do the right thing. We gain nothing by being out in the field. The possibility that I will have a positive sales call are slim to none. The possibility that I will piss off our customers grows with each day. Other companies have pulled their sales forces from the field. Do the right thing. Some of us work in outbreak hotspots. We have parents, grandparents. Some of us have preexisting conditions which could be exacerbated by this largely UNKNOWN virus. Furthermore, if even one rep spreads this virus then that is social irresponsibility. In Japanese culture it is regular to take extra precautions to avoid infecting others with illness. The incubation period for this illness is estimated to go as high as 14-28 days. If we unknowlingly spread the virus, there could be blood on our hands. Do the right thing. If the whole country commits to a level of social isolation, then we could beat this virus. It starts with letting us get out of harms way just like youre able to do right now. Give us 100 Elearns, we dont care, just let us leave the field. This is a once in a century event. Lets take note from the disaster in Italy and avoid that for our families.
I find it funny that you expect a "right" thing from Sales No-Leadership. It is only about ego and dollars for the Japanese overlords. They might still be pissed about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But who can tell? Even better, that during the POA, activity on this site. Just GREAT like Tony the Tiger once said!
