Covid-19 lockdown check-in

[Savonarola]

Working from home; at our facility here everyone but the lab rats had their badge deactivated ().  Our factories in New York got special permission to operate at 25% capacity.  Almost all our European facilities are completely shut down.

You know how it works though. Fox will start churning out the idea that we need to save America's economy. Trump will be nasty and tie compliance to all sorts of things. Republican governors will overturn the lockdowns, and they will have the support of a sizeable chunk of the population.

We'll see. Our Governor is a bit of an oddball and kind of does his own thing unlike our Lt Gov.

I guess I should be proud that in general they're self-sufficient? 

My mum always says she wishes she'd raised me to be less independent and needier

I'm WFH - as is the entire firm I think.

I don't do litigation much but the courts here are experimenting with video conferencing. Seen some barristers say it's very weird to get a judgment in your favour handed down from the Court of Appeal while you're sat in you living room.

My mom, an ex head surgical nurse who is now 82, retreated up to her ridge 1200 feet above the Coastal Highway in Big Sur back at the end of Feb.  She has friends who can bring food up to a stop about halfway to her house - she drives down from there to get it.

As far as I know she has not had any contact in well over a month.  Face to face contact.  I do get 300 emails a day and 14000 whatsapp messages, but that is okay.

Your mom sounds amazing.

After two days of lockdown I got a message from my mum: "the real risk for your dad isn't coronavirus. It's me with a pillow"

So I assume it's going well.

Resourceful far-sighted lady. 



She need to be bringing you into the world.

I started working from home last Wednesday. My work is basically the same working remote as it was in the office, except the coffee sucks here and my chair is an uncomfortable piece of IKEA crap. My boss said I could stop by the office and bring home my office chair, but I don't think I could fit it easily into my car and it would be a pain to bring it home and eventually bring it back. Our office is still technically open and there's one or two people working there instead of from home.

Caffe Ladro has free shipping on two bags of coffee and Raven's Brew is offering free shipping period, so I will soon solve my coffee problem.

My work is hardly important, yet I can work at home and collect a paycheck with minimal health risk. It's bullshit.

PDH, I have several extra bottles of hand sanitizer. If you want some, let me know and I'll send you some. It's only 62% alcohol, but probably better than nothing.

Essential and not in quotes. I work in a homeless shelter established by the patrician Massey family. Walking to work daily. I just got an extension and increase in hours. We've had staffing issues because of fear and illness, so we had six temps in the kitchen today. They are all good to great.

Happy I am not working at home. Very Happy. Bindir Dundat.

I will be working from home until I have somewhere to send my kids to. Right now, that is not until may.

Good on you Sasks, keep up the good work.

I used to work with the homeless, at times challenging, but I can't imagine the extra pressure the virus is putting on peoples situations and on those helping them.

I like the sound of your mom a lot. Is there any way we can put her in charge?

My mums a retired nurse as well.

Mom doesn't pull too many punches.  When I told her a couple of weeks ago that any visits for the near future were out she told me, "good, I was pretty sure you weren't dumb enough to do that."

She actually figures she may well get it, but she wants to get it after the curve is dropping and the hospital system is more back to normal.

Yes that's the sort of cool, logical calculation a lot of people need to be making.

I'm fairly sure most of us here on Languish will get it, eventually.

My employer makes me go to the office once a week just because. Otherwise I work from home the other 4 days.  I'm still luckier than most.
