One employee said that many Tesla colleagues had decided to take voluntary, unpaid leave and those who were left to work at the factory were now doing the jobs of two or three people at once.

Since this disease is caused by a new virus, people do not have immunity to it, and a vaccine may be many months away. Doctors and scientists are working on estimating the mortality rate of COVID-19, but at present, it is thought to be higher than that of most strains of the flu."My frank opinion remains that the harm from the coronavirus panic far exceeds that of the virus itself.

After downplaying COVID-19 risks, Musk concluded: "please do not feel obligated to come to work if this is causing you any concern. I'd rather you were at home and not stressed than at home and worried."A follow-up email from North American HR leader Valerie Workman explained to Tesla employees, "During this time, the federal government has directed that all National Critical Infrastructure continue to operate during this pandemic," and that Tesla fell into this category.

She also reassured employees, per CDC guidelines: "To keep you safe, we will continue to follow social distancing guidelines "
