Sklar is aware that at this point, there isn't a widespread U.S. outbreak but “it's not unreasonable to think that there are these possibilities." She'll try to attend sessions on video when South by Southwest begins, but she'll lose out on chances to network. Many owners whose companies' work is done on computers and the internet are setting employees up to work from home. In New York, the 17 staffers at Lunchbox now must take their laptops and chargers home every night to ensure that they can...
