I’m never an optimist, but for some reason on this, I am. I don’t think the US will be hit hard, but we’re reacting in a way to not become Italy. The economic damage is done tho...
As long as we can buy enough time to get these cures tested and slow the infection rate, I think we’ll be OK, at least compared to Italy.
Anything is possible at this point, there's just too much we don't even know.
Right now we don't even have any idea of how many people already have it. Could be 90,000 people walking around with it that have no idea because they don't have symptoms.
we talking layoffs, what about the general lack of productivity happening right now...group chat just turned into a group video call and all six of us are fukking around, including no one doing their hair, getting dressed, or wearing makeup - we looked a hot mess
a lot of people who don't actually work from home (regularly) are about to learn working from home is actually hard, you're either unproductive or you end up working like 7:30/8am-6-7pm because it's so easy to not log off
Yeah I been finding myself on email till 7 PM at home
Had 4 Zoom meetings yesterday
Now my colleagues have a coffee chat over Zoom at 2 PM
going everyday till we get back to normal.In the office I got an urgency to finish things by 5:30 PM. And dip. Barely take my laptop home unless I travel or know I ain’t gonna come in.

In a case like this, overreaction is better than underestimation.
The world, the economy, people...will all be fine and live through this. This feels more and more like a forceful change to disrupt complacency (pay attention, this has and will happen in your life). We will all be different after this.

This is the main reason I enjoy every chance I get to work from home - that and avoid the commute.
I never feel like I'm on the clock or have a finite amount of time to be productive. I feel everything is self-paced and it makes me much more productive overall.

It's showing our trajectory is steeper than both Italy and Iran. More than likely it'll remain specific cities on full time lockdown and not necessarily the entire country. But it's not looking good at all right now.
Sheesh, it's starting to make its way around Congress for real now - what's this, 2 in the last hour? ...and I work on the Hill.

my aunt (forklift driver) is still working...and they're ignoring that 10 person rule thing....this will largely be a working class/poor virus.....i hope this hits the Yuppie parts of l.a. (santa monica, los feliz areas), they're hiding in their mansions but we gotta find a way to infect those worthless b*stards & kill em off....
