The University is going online only after spring break like many others. We're all on fire watch, after we get the grad students to understand they're probably not getting much work done.

Got sent to full wfh I expected the VPN to fall over now that pretty much everyone has been kicked off campus minus our skeleton crew, some random staff, physical facilities people, and whatever poor grad students with lovely advisors- but networking actually got a bunch of money and hardware. Something somehow sort of went right.

it's cool, trump is very upset about the number going down so its time to sacrifice the poors and olds to try and make it go back up (it will not go back up just because people get forced to go back to work)

Outside of research and some business office people the university is pretty much shut down at this point so now that we've gotten a lot of wfh issues ironed out it has been pretty quiet.

Everyone's gonna come back to campus and no amount of plexiglass is gonna help keep people safe. It's gonna be a disaster That being said, I'm probably gonna be able to work from home for the rest of the year if my director can help it

We're bound and determined to bring the students back on campus. University President fellated himself with his big plan of requiring the students to pass a COVID spit test before coming back on campus and we already have some students who came in with clean tests who are now positive for it. lol

My director's goal is to have as many people as possible working from home until January but reality is starting to creep in because we already had to have 5-6 people volunteer to come back in so we can get stuff ready for our incredibly ill-advised start of the fall semester, and it's not enough It's going to be a disaster and we'll probably end up having to immediately shut down.

Kazinsal posted:the longer this whole poo poo goes on the more I wonder if it's ever actually going to end Supposedly the general agreement among experts so far based on the current various vaccine tests is that an effective vaccine for covid is very likely. I have a feeling that you're not gonna see a lot of anti-vaxx poo poo gaining traction after another 5-6 months of this before the vaccines start showing up. For capitalism in America to really function properly everyone needs to be able to go back to work without people just randomly causing outbreaks which shut your businesses down for weeks at a time- if the human misery doesn't get the dumbest loving people in our country to get vaccinated, our glorious corporate overlords will MAKE them get it by making vaccination a requirement for employment (they will also not pay for it).

It's nice when the semester starts, everything is broken, and you know you're doing a ton of work that will ultimately not matter when a big covid outbreak happens and shuts campus down

the vast majority of white trash I knew and know living in the midwest don't vote or give a poo poo about anything political the people who're pro trump to the point they're riding around with gigantic trump flags and poo poo and trying to start fights everywhere were always like that and there weren't a lot of them, but you got this impression there were a lot of them because they were super loving obnoxious the big contingent of Trump voters that actually swing this poo poo are white suburbanites who don't dress up in plus-size 5.11 gear and get in shoving matches, but rather go in large groups to protest low-income housing

My mid-70's parents got their second shots a few days ago and have had zero side effects. My first Pfizer shot made the injection site slightly sore for about half a day and nothing otherwise.
