I frequently wonder how anybody has horrible as the Republicans ever get elected, and then I look at the Democrats and my question is answered.

I've been told we had a big crew go into our offices and labs and completely disinfect everything. They've also had consultants in, to advise on the airflow through offices due to the A/C. I'd suggested everybody having a HEPA filter in their office, but not sure whether that will happen - our layout is such that almost everybody has an office with a door, which is pretty unusual, but will also help with distancing. According to what I saw, when we return we're going to be wearing masks and gloves at all times. I don't really see how it's going to work, but that's just me.

I would think false positives (low specificity) would be a helluva lot more problematic than false negatives. If you are false positive, you may think you are safer than you are. article about in the times a few days ago. If you are a false positive when the prevalence of the true infected is low, you are looking at a whole lotta people thinking they are safe. When they ain’t.

@jon-nyc said in Office Space Real Estate After Pandemic?: It might depend also on how long all this lasts ('all this' = your average white collar office working remotely). The longer it goes on the more of it will stay permanent. I don't necessarily mean everyone permanently at home, but home several days per week or having the option to be home many days. I think I saw that Twitter Inc. announced they're staying virtual after this, for most employees at least. @jon-nyc said in Office Space Real Estate After Pandemic?: It might depend also on how long all this lasts ('all this' = your average white collar office working remotely).

I think I saw that Twitter Inc. announced they're staying virtual after this, for most employees at least. I think you are right and this was already happening. On the other hand Harari in Sapiens talks about myths and the the corporation is a myth. Hard to build a strong myth without lots of connection. As it is employees are barely loyal to companies anymore and often it is the corporation knowlingly or unknowingly doing that. 100% remote only ups the odds. Whether the isolation and job flipping is good for someone is a good debate.

Sounds fun and tasty! And there's nary a chicken liver in it. Sign me up for this dinner, please. Ktnxbai.

Seems like he’s just venting his petulance. He must know he will be squashed.

I don’t think the funding to make masks is an issue. I enjoyed the sight and thought it was a nice patriotic display of honor for the frontline workers.

Absolutely, without a backstory I won't fall for how the article paints the picture. Well, other than I'll say, "oooooooooooh -- she said a bad word and mean words" so she should be fired, hung, publicly humiliated, etc. How offensive!! On the other hand, she might well deserve to be booted out of her position, literally and figuratively. Move on.

Another thing...Why would Obama's Treasury Secretary need Flynn unmasked? What could possibly be germaine to Treasury?

Yep. My wife's salary has already been cut by around 25%.

Accuse wouldn’t knock out the virus it would (ideally) stimulate the same immune response the virus would stimulate. A healthy immune system would respond to the presence of the virus even if the person were symptomatic.

Though there are a lot of ways you could make that chart.
