i can't tell if people are panicking here in the bay area or not. like, most of the tech employers are having people work from home, so the traffic is much lighter, but everyone who is doing actual work seems to still be doing it. construction across the street still going, coffee shops are open and have people, restaurants are open, grocery stores have normal stock of most things except hand sanitizer, people are chatting in groups and out walking their dogs like it ain't no thing they cancelled the loving nba though that has to mean something

lol imagine if my country closed its borders? we have less than ten confirmed cases. we could have even kept it lower but no. aggressive boards of cash won’t let no lame rear end disease stop us. nz bows down to eat china’s rear end there ain’t no way we’re gonna do anything but open armed gently caress every diseased guest that comes onto our shores

it's as strong a reaction as you're likely to get without the government compelling people to stay home. I've certainly never seen anything like it.

all the schools and universities etc are closing in France from Monday, taxes for businesses for March are being deferred, and they're encouraging the use of temporary unemployment for businesses which can no longer run (gov pays some large portion of salaries for a period of time)

over here in Estonia: all schools closing on Monday and border checks are gonna be re-instated, whatever that means. joining the wfh crew from tomorrow, no company mandate yet (probably because customer support & AML use Mac Minis and they don't want to let them take them home, not just yet ha) and instead this was used as an opportunity to force people to have to ask their line managers to approve WFH via this dumb HR tool we use

here in massachusetts, many suburban area schools are closed, but not inner city; most likely because many parents cannot afford child care. also all working class are forced to work (a lot of times in busy places), or be fired. a sad state of affairs, really. just wait another few weeks and things are going to become helpless, unless we slow the spread as much as we can

it's difficult to stop the spread because a lot of people are asymptomatic while contagious for a week or more. what's going to be interesting is when cases reach critical mass and people start dying because we're out of ventilators (this is already happening in iran)

echinopsis posted:i’m personally hoarding a few masks and antibiotics too. gotta be some perks do those 5 cent masks really do anything? i've heard it may help if you are contaminated by preventing the spread tiny particles of water from your mouth into the air, but it doesn't work the other way around. also i've heard the holes in those masks that allow you to breath are much too large to keep out any viruses floating around airborne. e: antibiotics don't work for this coronavirus from world health organization: quote:Are antibiotics effective in preventing and treating the new coronavirus?

trying my remote desktop setup for if (when) we have to wfh and it turns out that theres a magic group policy option to enable something called RemoteFX that makes remote desktop do video streaming and our poo poo can run at a perfectly usable 30 fps through that yet i was still told today that if we wfh we'd pretty much have to take our PCs home until they can get citrix running otherwise we would barely be able to work i wonder if like not one single computer janitor in our entire 16k employee company knew about that RemoteFX stuff lol (trying to make my xbox controller work through that makes my remote pc reboot tho, thx microsoft)
