Title: CORONA CHAN NOOOOO
Post by: Ming on March 12, 2020, 03:15:53 PM
Someone who works in one of our offices (which people travel back and forth to from my place of work frequently) got glomped by corona-chan

Looks like I'll be the first to visit Gensokyo! Try not to be too jealous

Literally minutes after making this thread I got a message from work (project lead) saying the emergency "everyone work from home tomorrow + next week" was revoked for my team because we want to "show that we prioritize the client" (over the safety of our employees).

...My company has been sending messages all day about how "our fellow colleague's safety is our #1 priority" and that everyone that has the ability to work remotely should do so.

Only a few cases in my county here. School's closed maybe more stuff like that to follow.
At least my boss is adamant about staying open, which is fine since it's a warehouse and I see very few of the public.  :love:

Talk to the rest of the team so you would quit together if he doesn't give in

there's not a ton of cases in the US yet but for some reason most of them are all in my state.

Wow fuck your boss. That's borderline murderous.
Like Dirty Red said, maybe try talking to the rest of your team and you could try collectively bargaining
with the boss.

We have 8 confirmed cases here and just had the first case in my city get confirmed yesterday. I'm really worried now.

Apparently there's now some weird screaming match going on between all sorts of managers on all levels, both in my company and the client's, about whether people should stay home or not, INCLUDING management of the office that has been hit by corona.  :owo:

Don't think this is the kind of people one should be working for a lot longer...

probably 200+ confirmed cases in london by now

More than half my team are stationed in london and they too have been demanded to not stay home as well. RIP.

All restaurants in my state are now closed for dine-in so rip any place that doesn't deliver or drive-thru. Basically every school is closed as well, some doing online classes.

Felt dizzy all day. On my way home my throat was feeling sore. Just checked my throat with a mirror+flashlight and it's very red.

In the work cafeteria, they stopped serving hot food today. And EVERYTHING available was wrapped in plastic.

Individual slices of bread, no butter no nothing, just bread, covered in plastic wrap.  :owo:

Just learned today that my old job, Panera, is closing tomorrow until the end of the month. I'm glad my work hasn't closed yet, would be hard to pay bills in the coming month otherwise. Boss will probably keep it open until it's unprofitable or ordered by gov't to close. In the event of the second I'll probably attempt to sell some electronics I have lying around on ebay, assuming the post is still running.

Keep resting and doing fever alleviating things, like drinking lots of water. I've heard that the fever which comes from Corona wanes initially and then waxes.  :sad:

I've started working from home since Tuesday. It's actually great! Not seeing my colleagues make me way less stressed.

Things are slowing down day by day and I guess it's only a question of time before we go in quarantine mode.

Fever is passing! Feel exhausted though.  :damn:

Ming survived!  :yay:

They've shut down Denmark (my neighbouring country), you're fined if you go outside without being licensed to do so now apparently  :shock:

And we might do this too in the very near future. I predict all stores are going to be fucking RUSHED for supplies now if people are being restricted to their homes by law for a couple of weeks or whatever.

The Lockdown has been so lame for me.  As Jackie1 said we can go for walks around for fitness.  I've been stopped 8 of the 10 times I've left the house by police.  My sister who is white compared to my brown skin has gone for a walk almost every day for the past month and hasn't been stopped by police at all.  I swear the police are just being racist towards me.

Despite the lockdown, I've had to go to work to fill in random days which was lame since if I stayed at home I get paid the same amount as going into work.  But needless to say, the lockdown was good to start early before our health system was overflowing with COVID cases and we wouldn't be able to handle it.

We will be leaving our Level 4 (lockdown) and enter in Level 3 which is like slightly less restrictive lockdown next week but if our cases increase then its back to Level 4 and the whole shiz starts again.

I heard NZ has been free from corona cases for closing in on 2 weeks now. Looks like the lockdown paid of at least  :wave:

We've yet to do any lockdown beyond closing borders. We managed it so poorly we have the highest death rate now in Europe? Per capita. All the other nordic countries are opening up their borders to everyone now except for us lol

I never got to work remote befor e all this covidness but being able to use my more powerful computer at home and having 3 screens increased my productivity too much.  Unfortunately I dont get the option of staying remote and had to go back to the office.  I do miss getting out of bed at 8.28am and starting work at 8.30.

I'm glad so much people got to at least experience remote working and many businesses and employees found its actually better for some people.

I do miss getting out of bed at 8.28am and starting work at 8.30.

I've been doing exactly this for months now. It's a bit cruel considering there are people actually getting really sick / dying but I hope this whole work from home thing lasts for a long time

this is my exact thoughts. It is just too comfy. Also it means that I don't have to see my coworkers every day and this also is a blessing.
