Yeah, Bernie isn’t going to get the nom so can we just compromise and put Cuomo through instead of Biden who probably won’t survive until November anyway.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Some CBS reporter was saying the CDC tomorrow may tell people it's okay to let exposed people go back to work if they wear masks.

If that happens I can't even...

And they'll conveniently leave out anything about essential or non essential businesses and there will be even more non essential companies asking people to come in. Can't wait to see how states/counties with shelter in place mandates handle that one

Late to this, but I am in the exact same position you are (dispatch/IT is a gently caress).

We're still all sharing offices/desks because our IT wants to scream their uselessness from the rooftops, re: can't be arsed to set up new offices, even if there are more than a few that are available. That means setting up more Cisco phones and that takes time and effort!

We're in a high-traffic corridor as well, lol, even for the remaining employees, of which there are enough to make anyone legitimately worried. Except we have TWO elderly smokers, one of whom had a heart attack semi-recently.

Our central dispatch has transitioned to WFH with a skeleton crew in the general office. Our field locations are still manned since they deal directly with drivers and paperwork.

I primarily deal with support/telematics and HOS enforcement, which the government has suspended due to the national emergency- so I guess I just generate reports that don't mean anything now???

Sky News UK had a report they uploaded online, then deleted. Possibly because it will instill THE FEAR in anyone who tunes in to see it.

Anyway, it was reuploaded by a bunch of people.

Heh, I just had a phone call with relatives in NY, one of whom is a doctor in the Bronx, and they had some pretty strong opinions about the degree to which Cuomo had decimated the NY healthcare system before all this. “Cutting it to the bone, then cutting the bone” was what the doc said. And he’s been practicing medicine for like 25 years.

We don't deal directly with drivers or paperwork. It's all remote. They've been pursuing other projects for months in spite of 'get dispatch to be able to WFH' being a thing they've been asked to look into.

Dispatch is basically only critical when we're critical. Every other day, we're forgettable.

Anyway congrats on all your free time and keep generating nonsense reports! By the time they figure out it's all nonsense you'll probably have actual poo poo to do again.

Hey I'm in Texas and all we got was some restaurants closing down their dining areas. We have so few cases so nothing else is necessary I guess. Oh wait that's only because tests are literally unavailable in most of the state and severely restricted everywhere else, plus we have a huge undocumented population who wouldn't get tested in the best of circumstances.

The number of people who are self-quarantining and "presumed positive" is crazy, but the maps keep showing zero infected in those areas.

we're never going to get accurate numbers out of our area, everyone's just hoping the self-quarantines from presumed positives will fizzle out and self-select towards those needing major interventions only getting tested so it'll all blow over and we forget it ever happened

I went outside tonight and was starstruck, literally. I cannot remember the last time I was able to see the sky so clearly. The haze that hangs over us most of the time is just completely gone. I stood there and gawked upward like a child for what seemed a very long time, and it was like looking up and seeing no ceiling above me. It hasn't felt so enormous, nor I so small, for many years. Forces you to reflect on what else you're being robbed of.
