The business I work for had flights, hotels, and rental cars booked for some of our employees which have to be rescheduled for several thousand dollars, not counting the later overtime from running late at the job site. I am quite happy to sit at home but I don't envy our admin team right now and I can only imagine the impact to other people and businesses.
