I'd guess it wouldn't be that noticeable considering malaria still kills like 400,000 Africans a year but doesn't make the news cycle because most of them are brown people.

SCIENCE



My office came out with a “plan” yesterday saying that if you are tested and confirmed to have it then you will be sent to work from home.

Obviously this does nothing for anyone who’s pre-symptomatic and spreading it to everyone else. How stupid is my office and do I need to say something.

Mine has 60k employees worldwide. Certain sites in Europe and China have been closed, but my site is is a "Level 2" according to their chart, meaning "be prepared to begin working from home at a moment's notice".

I'm in STL. I think that "moment's notice" will be very soon since we recently had a confirmed case here.

A dude tested positive for corona then went to his Father-Daughter dance at school anyway, because you cant put life on hold right??

Toronto got hit pretty bad with SARS which prompted revision of public health policies wrt epidemics, which is probably helping in dealing with its more ambitious cousin

Company I work for with about 10k employees in the UK hasn't done this, largely I suspect because they don't want to be the first one to do it here and also because at the start of last week they only had capacity for 1000 people to WFH simultaneously and were frantically trying to increase that and make sure it would work

Today Dutch cases jumped from 382 to 500. The governments advice is still to avoid shaking hands with people but go about your business as if everything was normal. Starting to think they are using this as a chance to get a bunch of 80 plussers off the Healthcare network.

Oh cool, I'm like 90% sure my boss just infected me with Corona today. I'm in STL, and I'm not sure if y'all head here (I'm still catching up on the thread) but we had a the family of a woman with the virus, just skip out on their quarantine. The father ended up going to a father-daughter dance, and one of my upper upper managers was there. So now today my immediate boss (who sits two desks over from me) comes in to work saying he had a bad cough and trouble breathing over the weekend. He then proceeded to cough all over the drat office. And of course, my department doesn't have the option to work from home. I'm basically bathing in purell, but RIP me.
