COVID-19 2020

[kosmo vinyl]

So Michigan is planning on vaccinating 16+ starting the beginning of April and Maryland appears to flailing away trying to get through Phase one.

I guess this means having a badass Dem as a governor  is better than one with an ineffective Republican one.  Guess Michigan is not the hot mess I thought it was... all that assembly line know how is being put to work..,

Hoping MD and VA get their stuff together soon...

slogan idea for unwashed masses: Hoping MD and VA get their stuff together soon...

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

MD and VA will be at the same point MI is within a week or so of MIs date. I don’t think people understand the sheer amount of doses we have coming over the next 8 weeks.

I think most of us should expect an end to remote working in the near future. I was hoping it would roll through the summer but that's unlikely.

So in VA we get a “day of prayer” the morning after st. Patty’s day

I don’t need a prayer I need a vaccine!

What if there's nothing about your job that can't be done from home? What is the point of going to an office and doing what you can do at home?

Regardless, those employers who haven't learned anything from this and who want/need their workers back full time probably won't require it until school is back five days a week. And who knows when that will be.

We will remember my father in “law”and almost 10,000 Virginians


It’s a day of prayer and remembrance

Thanks for the heads up

See this board is good for something

I completely agree and I envy those who don’t go back. My job can be done 100% from home. Not expecting it to stay that way. But I will be asking for some flexibility. Early hours. Work from home 1-2 days a week.

Correct... for some reason I thought SPD was 3/13

4.58 million vaccine doses administered in the US today

New record.

i've been told we will be remote at least through the end of july.

the pandemic has changed the expectation that everybody has to be in the office.  'round these parts, lots of tech/IT folks have come to expect work from home, and employers who insist on having everyone in the office 5 days a week are going to lose a good number of their staff to employers that allow work from home.  the times they are a-changin'.

Things are finally- one year later- heading in the right direction...

Nobody will ever convince me we would be where we are with a Republican administration


Trump would have been doing all kinds of shady stuff: all the vaccines for Republican led states, selling vaccines to other countries and grifting, using vaccine distribution for political leverage, maybe picking a vaccine and saying no to others (trying to get bribes)

The mind reels at all the wacko shit a re-elected and emboldened Trump would have pulled with regards to vaccine distribution

As it stand today for the first time in about a year we weren’t first or second in the world in terms of new reported deaths... and down to 36,000 new cases.. lowest in like five months
