Now, this could be a good occasion to ask my boss if I can work from home to avoid getting infected, the internet and a phone is all I need

Note that influenza/pneumonia is the 5th most common cause of death in the US and is way ahead of death by firearms (including drug gangs, self defence shootings and being shot by the cops).
