The home office has gone from a luxury to a necessity in the span of just a few short weeks.
That’s because millions of Americans are now forced to work from home full time amid the COVID-19 crisis. With local stay-at-home orders likely to last for weeks to come, now is a great time to upgrade your makeshift workspace into a suitable home office for the long haul.
To learn how to do that, we talked to Jade Sills, a Best Buy In-Home Advisor in Detroit.
With millions of Americans finding themselves doing nearly everything under the same roof because of the COVID-19 crisis, it’s become more important than ever to find ways to maintain our health and wellness from the comfort of home.

We’ve all experienced the frustrations of slow, unreliable internet. There are the buffering videos, the slow-to-load websites and the Wi-Fi dead zones.
For many of us, our daily lives revolve around the internet and our connected devices. And that’s even more true since the COVID-19 outbreak.
“I’m relying on my Wi-Fi to help me work, connect with people and stream lots of shows,” said Geek Squad Agent Derek Meister, who is also working from home right now. “So, I need my internet speeds to be on point.”

Phishing is a type of cybercrime that targets individuals by email, telephone, or text message. Phishers lure individuals into providing data such as personal information, banking and credit card details, and passwords — usually by clicking on a malicious link or attachment.
Many of us may have questions and concerns about the virus and cybercriminals are exploiting that by sending emails branded to look like they are from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO).
