If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past several weeks, you’ve been bombarded with stories about COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus.

My wife Risa and I were talking about what she should do around her therapy practice as a result — should she close the office and do teletherapy only? Should she keep the office open and put bottles of hand sanitizer everywhere (if she can even find any after the panic-buying of the past few weeks)?
