You order online, a supermarket employee collects the things and you pick it up without having to go into the supermarket (or maybe just briefly).

Even the Fred Meyer and Safeway in this hick town has that now.

With cases spiking in Vienna and Austria, I'm scheduled for two large in person meetings next week. One with external vendors, where we try to find a better location than their office which has a small meeting room without windows, or our office. The other is between our team and management, the latter of which have been traveling a fair bit throughout Europe (Germany, Czech Rep, Italy, Switzerland) in recent weeks).

Not being able to appreciate food as much because of sudden loss of smell might also help.

US air travel hit 1 million for the first day since March - that is still down from the ~2.6 million a day in 2019 but activity is picking up.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Problem with that idea is Syt would be told to isolate for 10-14 days and get a Covid test.  And probably still expected to work from home.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

But he will avoid the two in person meetings.

I once "faked" illness to get out of school. My mom insisted against my protest to go to the doctor. Turned out I had measles (vaccination against measles was not a thing when I grew up). :D

I'm kinda worried to jinx it. I will go and probably wear a mask during meetings. :P

If he wanted to keep his job they do.
