I'd just, very reasonably, be required to work from home for 14 days, which would be pretty annoying/disruptive for me (I don't think you'd like it either), though of course my job wouldn't be in jeopardy (we also don't have "sick" days or "vacation" days, we are trusted to manage our own time...). Others in my research group may also be required to if they are judged to be close contacts. I'm not sure why you think I can't "live my life" because I eat outdoors at restaurants?
