Looks like the employee in my building who tested positive was on a different floor. So I’d have to get pretty unlucky to catch it in an elevator or something. Thank god we barely have any in-person meetings in my group anyway.
If this were any other office job I’ve ever had - where we spend half the day in small, badly ventilated meeting rooms - it would be a disaster.
They can write on a tablet or something.

Fuckin hell looking at these numbers
Owning a small property, especially a commercial property, is just a small business, and people who do it are poor and fail just as often an plumbers or mom and pop grocery store owners.
Earth to humans: fuckin hell looking at these numbers
Update to my tax office precautions
We are now stopping people from coming to meet in person
But
The boss is asking people to work OT and sundays to get all the returns done because we will have so many drop offs
Profits > health
And my boss has pictures of him and high ranking Dems all over his office
Money > fuck you
As the pervasiveness of the virus becomes more apparent I realize that either I have it but am not exhibiting symptoms (not sure how common this is) or I seriously dodged a bullet:
I’m mostly isolated now but holy crap within 2 days of getting back from Nashville it is obvious I was in serious risk for a couple of weeks.
In normal times my commuting wife hates those old ladies. Clog up her train in the morning and all wined up on the way home.
What does she do that she knows better and still went to the flower show?
WV finally found a case
Goddamn I hate Paula White
Your pony died of the 1918 flu.
I opened these in tabs to read later. Wanted to add just from that second headline about speeding it up, even if we don’t change the mortality rate in a vacuum, shortening a recovery by 25-30% opens up an ICU bed 25-30% quicker, which saves someone else’s life…
6 degrees of coronavirus
Woman I work closely with
Her bf
His coworker out sick and took the test
That’s not enough degrees
Same lol
Just noting this excerpt from a letter from ATT (I believe Verizon is doing something similar.)
- Last week, we announced that we are suspending broadband usage caps for our home internet customers. That means no overage fees while people are home using more data.
- We’re keeping our public Wi-Fi hotspots open for anyone who needs them.
- We continue to offer internet access for qualifying limited-income households at $10/month through our Access from AT&T program.
- We won’t terminate service of any wireless, home phone or broadband residential or small business customer due to an inability to pay their bill as a result of the coronavirus pandemic – and we’re waiving late payment fees for those customers.
From everything I’ve read it’s only the 3rd thing that’s super likely to spread it.
Our work said “sustained interaction for more than 10 minutes and within 6 feet of proximity” was their threshold for telling people who worked with the positive person to self-quarantine.
I should add, it doesn’t help that my wife works in a hospital so she is coming and going every day (she had to) to a place where people with COVID are likely to congregate. So I don’t think I’m out of the woods.
I saw this on my apartment rent portal today.
The property will waive or credit you back for any “convenience charge” or fee assessed through Paylease for credit or debit cardpayments between March 16, 2020 – April 10, 2020. As always, payments made through your checking account are free of charge.
The convenience charge is $1.99 by paying your rent at Walmart if you don’t have a checking account. LOL.
So heartwarming when we can all come together in this time of need. It’s like It’s a Wonderful Life.
