Covidcast 1 - How Coronavirus will affect freelancers

--:--
In this short episode, we synthesise some of the content that's already out there regarding Coronavirus and its impact on the freelance community. It's still very early, and the situation is changing all the time, but we make a few guesses about how freelancers could be affected, and give some advice and ideas about how to ride out this situation. We're not experts, we just want to get the community talking and supporting each other through this situation. As mentioned in the episode, we have a quick ask and a resource for you. If you think this might be useful to a freelancer you know, please share it with them. We totally get that all you're hearing about right now is Corona, but we think how it affects your business is important, and it's better we think about it than try to ignore it. Check you leapers.co for a guide on how to work under self-isolation / quarantine.
