FWIW, Nunavut, in northern Canada, still has no reported case.
[Edit]
What's going on in Quebec? Population of 8.5M, 4600+ infected. Next province with the most cases (2800) is Ontario, with a population of 14.5M.

Dunno, can Ants on Arctica actually get it? Or just when they're not on Arctica?

My electric bill is going to go up.
The only thing that was on during the day was my refrigerator.
Now I have my entire network to power up.
And the refrigetor is opened alot more.
And the coffee maker has to work harder to keep up with me.
And on a slightly more serious note...
My medication dosages are too low- sitting at home on the couch I am not getting the exercise I normally do at the office. The numbers I have compiled show I need about 17% more insulin than normal.

3D Print yourself a really big hamster wheel, and use a standing desk.
Voila! Two problems solved at a stroke - you can use the wheel to power the coffeemaker!

A word to the wise: Depending on the software you use for conference calls, it might be trivially easy to click the wrong button so video is unintentionally included.
Take it from me (as I've been doing it for a dozen years) - don't let yourself turn into a slob. Even if you work at home, at least give yourself the trouble of putting on some clothes, just as if you were going outside the house to run some errands. It's the least you could do. And your mailman will probably be thankful.

In the Christmas greeting our company sends to all enployees there is usually some marketing stuff. Last year it included a tiny "shutter", about the size of the nail of a small child, with an adhesive back to glue it over your webcam lens. Normally, you slide the shutter over the lens, away only when you are actively in a video dialog/meeting. (Obviously, the shutter has a tiny image of our company's logo, so we will not forget who pays our daily bread  )
On the other track: I really don't see the connection between "slob" and "no pants on". Are naturists all slobs? If your boss tells you that you must wear a tie when working for the company, even in your home office, would that go in the "don't be a slob" group as well? What about going barefooted? Does the office dress code apply at home?
During an extreme heat wave some years ago, a coworker of mine got a scolding from the boss: "It is marginally acceptable to come to work in nothing but speedos and T-shirt. It is NOT acceptable to come to work in a T-shirt so long that there can be doubts if you are wearing speedos or not!" ... I think that dress code is on the liberal side ...

You're overthinking this. In this context, even if you're working from home, "don't be a slob" just means make some effort to keep yourself presentable.

At IBM, at least some years ago, you were not "presentable" without a tie.
The essential point: There is no law of nature setting the limit between "presentable" and "not presentable". It is 100% personal and culturally defined. In your culture, appearently, pants define the limit. Fair enough.
In my childhood, a lot of restaurants would not let (adult) males without a tie. In one comedy sketch on Norwegian TV, the door guard at a restaurant refused a guy in an elegant tuxedo (but no tie), while he let in two guys in tie only. You would most likely bawl at adult men being displayed stark naked (except for the tie) at public television. They did fulfill the restaurant's requirement for "properly dressed", wearing a tie, but not your requirement of wearing pants.
Obviously: If I am going to meet a sensitive American, one that would feel offended if I were not satisfying American dress codes, I would wear both pants and tie (and probably even a shirt and shoes). But I do not let American culture dictate my life at home here in Norway. That goes for both dress code, pictures and movies I watch, music I listen to and food I eat.

Again, overthinking.
If you're going out in public without pants on, I suspect you're going to get familiar with some sort of local (but nearly-universal) indecent exposure laws that probably exists wherever you're living. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy. That's good enough to comply with those laws.
And if you want my view on ties: Their real use is to keep the foreskin from rolling back over the d*ckheads wearing them.

Ah, yes. So-called "dress codes" must have exceptions.
In a Club of which I was once the Chairman of the operating company, a member was a retired naval commander.
One day he brought a colleague as a guest, a still-active naval officer dressed in immaculate white naval uniform, perfectly creased trousers, etc, etc.
The bartender of the Members' Lounge refused to allow him entry, as a naval uniform, at least in the Australian navy, does not include a tie.
Fortunately the duty manager intervened and all was well.

Working from home, not wearing pants, has already had a negative effect on one sector of the ^economy.

But you save time conmuting and petrol (which means netto cash too), in my case around 460km a week. Still more expensive than the increase in electricity.

Too much distance for me to consider it right now. Maybe when the battery management and load process get improved.

96 rolls...that ought to last a while.
When this is over will there be a glut of TP so much so that it will be really cheap? Or will people still continue to hoard and keep it in their doomsday bunker?
