I only have to report in to work about once a week, mostly teaching from home.

Never quite figured out how that can work out - in your case you may have something to show, but those doing those essential errands wouldn't have any type of proof with them.

Maybe it's easier in the larger areas where people wouldn't travel as far, but in the more remote locations a drive of 30 minutes or more to the "local" supermarket or pharmacy isn't unusual (and possibly farther if that what might be one store in an area is out of something you need).
