@Gramdma2011 yay Connecticut! We might be a small state, but we have some big dumb-asses here.
@Zailrand Wow, I can't imagine the logistics to get that accomplished. Especially in a short time frame.
@Zailrand my whole company, about 45 peeps, work from home. I can check each of those boxes. We were just talking in Slack that some conference call providers may not be able to handle the load by next week.
@XSGeek damn, I meant aren't contracting
@XSGeek I hope you are correct about flattening the curve. It sounds like young people are contracting but may be carrying the virus. My daughter is coming home from college tomorrow for spring break, they told the students to stay home 2 extra weeks and take classes online.
@Keysalagain essentially we are on our own. The states (at least the ones I am hearing about) are doing a much better job of handling this.
@hendrey welcome back, I've only recently really started posting again here myself. Same great people without the riff-raff.
That article is an eye-opener. Thanks for sharing. It seems most people here are taking this seriously.
Our school system superintendent has emailed us every day this week, keeping us posted. Today the kids will bring home anything they need from classes to "participate in distance learning". Friday they will get a half day so teachers can finish preparing for distance learning.He went on to say the school system is open, however they are preparing for when schools will close. He didn't say if. For families with young children and no one at home during the day, this will hurt.Glad I work from home
@amarand @ucantstop_me @ceb @Autumn Bj's isn't, but our grocery stores are. I think it's a good idea though to hit the grocery stores off-peak (2am would be a miracle for me).
@Anemone @Zailrand I've been following your posts, and no apologies needed. Sometimes I feel like apologizing to the rest of the world. At home we are watching CBC and BBC as much as the US networks to get a full picture of what's going on. Trump is out of touch with reality and it's going to cost us lives.
@amarand @ucantstop_me @ceb @Autumn Yeah, exactly why I'm staying away from WalMart.
@amarand @ucantstop_me @ceb @Autumn I had something similar at BJs. Two guys pushing one of those flat carts with what looked like the entire disinfectant wipe display. I followed them around for a few minutes thinking of a way to approach them, but a store associate saw them and told them two per customer. I walked up to their cart grabbed two and said "Thank you guys".
@Vikky Haha!
@Vikky omg, that was hysterical. 😂 We both enjoyed it
@_Ms_J @th3j35t3r Karma is going to get him. He should really get tested.
