Can I network (calls) during pandemics?

Hey all,

Do u think it is good idea to network these days? I suppose that analysts and associates are staying at home so probably they should be more willing and have more time for networking calls. What do you think?

Have no idea what most people would think... but the vibe to me right now seems like things are still a little too raw to be business-as-usual... if it were me, I'd wait a couple weeks til it seems like we're a little more out of the woods.
