Waiting here until the virus evolves and turns into the T-Virus. Expecting a Kirkman-style undead uprising any moment now.

My company set us up with the option to work remotely from home just Incase. Not looking forward to it. I’ve been working from home since Friday. While I don’t mind not having to commute, and being able to work in sweats, I am far less productive. My system keeps crashing or losing connection to our server. Also, apparently the people in my house are insane during the day. It’s so noisy here. Also sucks that my gym is closed. I’m working out out at home but getting a fraction of the burn I usually get. keep an eye out for smaller private gyms. worth the extra little bit.

They had to close until further notice. Over here, all gyms, theaters, and casinos have to close. Restaurants and bars are only allowed to be pickup/delivery only. I tried some DDP Yoga tonight. It was decent, but after an hour it still felt like a warmup of what I’m usually doing. Might need to give the stationary bike/clothing rack a try 😂😂

Take it for what it's worth. A friend of mine has family high up in the military and word going around is by this weekend, there is going to be a nationwide quarantine for everyone and EVERYTHING is shutting down. So get out there and buy your groceries or you'll be trying to get a box of government cheese from the choppers dropping food to everyone. Again. Take it for what it's worth. My prediction is by Friday or next at the latest.

A woman I work with also works at Home Depot. She said corporate just gave every full-time employee an extra 80 hours of sick time in case they need it. Her manager also gave the employees a case of bottled water & an 8 pack of toilet paper on his own dime. Good guy.

I work at a strip club in Houston and we are on mandatory shut down for the next two weeks. If it only last two weeks, I'll be fine. I'm not so sure if it lasts longer though. Definitely can't buy any toys anytime soon. If stuff gets drastic, I'll be selling them all. If it lasts more than two weeks I am sure most will be in the same boat as you so who would you sell them to? You might as well just keep them as toys will be the last thing people are looking to purchase.

I'll be honest, I'd rather work from home or just not get paid at all if it means I get to stay at my place. I'm required to show up to work and to top it off they're not limiting the amount of people in the store which puts the rest of us at a risk. No masks allowed for employees either.

Yeah my wife works as an IP manager for Pfizer and usually works from home 3-5 days a week, but for the last week or week and a half now her whole department globally has been exclusively working from home. Thankfully almost everything (99%) they do is done electronically.

My company is limiting how many of us can come into the office on a certain day. So I’ll be working from home a few days out of the week on rotation. Since I’m not going to be fully working from home, my plan is to do all of my day to day work from the office and then when I’m home just make myself accessible if anybody needs to reach out to me. I can still access my work computer remotely from home so answering emails or updating files won’t be a problem. Basically I’m just going to navigate this how I see fit because I know as long as I keep up with my work, nobody will give a .

I'm currently two thirds of the way through my teacher training, and today's announcement that they're shutting all the schools from Monday has left my future looking very uncertain. I don't know if I'll get the rest of my bursary payments for not being in school, or if I'll even be allowed to qualify because I won't technically finish the school year now.
The virus isn't the problem, because the chances of contracting it are so slight, and the chance of actually getting ill with it is even smaller - it's all this bollocks that comes with it.

My son only goes two days a week, so I'll still be able to get into the office semi-regularly, but with how hesitant my job has been to just bite the bullet and go full-WFH, it's nuts that I'm mostly having to set up my own contingencies.

The elderly and those with underlying issues are vulnerable to all viruses

Yeah, I'm actually relieved my company isn't going full on work from home. I already spoke to my manager about how I plan on going about getting my work done and he was all for it. I was blunt about only bringing home what I know I will be able to handle and nothing more. Knowing that I can work at my own pace at home without worrying about being micromanaged make's it less stressful.
