Title: Coronavirus - Who else is in quarantine?
Post by: el numero uno on March 17, 2020, 08:42:31 PM
Government implemented a quarantine.

I started working from home today.

It feels like a weekend when you have to take work home. To be honest, it sucks. Too many distractions. But hey, at least I can take work home. A lot of businesses are being hit hard since they can't open their stores.

Also it's boring as hell not being able to go out. You can only go to the supermarket and pharmacies (commuting to work is OK but not all jobs are allowed).

Bought 2 weeks worth of food yesterday. I assumed people would panic and hoard goods and that's exactly what happened. They caused a shortage but it lasted less than 24 hours (I guess I was part of the problem).

All in all, at least I'm not sick. Hopefully I won't catch Covid-19.

Many of my team already works from home - but I asked all offices / managers - to tell their teams to work from home.

Ive worked from home for 1 1/2 years. Im at top level management.

The first 6mths.was.awesome. after that it has been very mentally challenging as everything is much quieter.

My advice, take up a hobby to keep you occupied on the side.

I’m sure your company would rent you a small office if you asked. If not - just rent one yourself. It’s an expense - but if it makes work easier then you will be more productive. It should only be a few grand a month.

I've been told to work from home indefinitely for the upcoming weeks (possibly months). Still continuing like normal outside of that. I can see my gym closing soon though too.

All schools and universities have been shut down in my state for at least another month. Semester was due to begin on Monday for me and I was ready to go, so basically, all I need to do now is write final exams.

The official decree hasn't stopped egomaniac lecturers from thinking their classes are more important though. Got a group email yesterday in which a team of people were talking about comandeering a building next to the campus so they could keep their classes running. I really don't get it.

And it's going to be a total shit show going forward. Things in Germany generally work well, until they don't, and then it's complete chaos. The uni is already talking about working Saturdays, not having the summer vacation, working upcoming public holidays - I'm interested to see how this plays out.

For now, I'm basically sitting at home waiting on updates.

(and my wife is sick with symptoms consistent with the virus so neither of us are going out. We've self quarantined.)

Might as well be. -Son-in-law wants everyone to stay home for the next two weeks at least (it is my home, BTW) so we don't get each other sick. He's in full psycho-panic mode right now. Oh joy! If I go for a walk he'll probably have the locks changed so I can't get back in.

I feel the biggest problem with being home is that you don't know when this will be over, it feels like getting a prison sentence but not knowing for how long

The government has shut down most of society by telling people an invisible microbe is out to get them. I guess that is how freedom disappears without a shot. Never mind that the sum total of all the other diseases that we have grown to accept take out millions of people a year. Man this is right out of a sci-fi movie. I'm sure there has been one about this already.

Me too....more or less. You are right it does suck since I am perfectly fine, but I'm old so I'm complying with my son-in-law's request to stay home.

Absolutely.

This feels like a fantasy sometimes.


Here in Serbia a military curfew started today 8pm-5am.

Seniors are required to stay home all day. But they don't.

I don't know what's going to happen.

Public transport will be canceled in a few days.

I fear a total curfew will come soon,because the streets are packed during the day.

People are losing their jobs. I run a small hotel and business is gone.


Mentally it is tough to handle.


And we have only 89 infected in a population of 7 million.

It will all be over in less than 4-6 weeks. Yes, some people will be sick and some will die (less than 1% when accurately tallied). But then the population will start to get restless and start acting up. Even in China with a dictatorial regime the government is getting nervous. Some freedoms will have to be restored quickly or the voluntary adherence to law will end.  And I don't care what government you live under- once that happens its the beginning of a revolution.

It won't get that far. The government starts to run out of money pretty quickly and needs people working. They can only print so much before it all collapses.

I ventured out today to pick up a couple of birthday cards, some bread and some butter. The bread racks were nearly empty as was the cooler where butter normally is kept. I went to three different stores before I found butter. For those who like fake butter, there was plenty of that. Maybe nobody likes it.

Would love to spend some quarantine time with her.
