However big they are, I'm sure they'll be short-lived. :(

Who are our most vulnerable Q3W members? Remember, age and pre-existing conditions are factors.

Whiskey - Old
Lars - Really old
Geoff - pre-existing (AIDS)
Gramps - pre-existing (hookworms)

Business as usual here. There’s a really weird mood in the air though. People seen coughing are killed on sight.

Fucking weird this eh, weird enough to make me crawl back to Q3W again. Been through 9/11 with you guys, we'll get through this together too, or something :olo:

Me and the missus are both deemed critical to society (education and healthcare) so we brought the kid to daycare this morning - they were only open for people like us. Very weird atmosphere, our kid is the only one there, five teachers to take care of him. Now at work arranging what i can for our people in the field from a mostly empty office. The only other person that's here is one of the doctors, who's working in another room or we might infect each other.

Management got creative, we're starting a daycare in one of our offices for kids of healthcare professionals, to help lighten the load on the healthcare system somewhat. Pretty awesome. We're hastily getting shit and people together to accommodate as many kids as we can (and as is deemed safe).

Most film productions have, or are about to shut down. All the US bigwigs have flown back to America before the planes get grounded.

Serious business.

How does that affect you? More time to work on digital ideas and renders or are you paused?

They'll initiate some sort of hiatus, I was due to start on another job in April but that might get pushed now. On a personal level I'm not really fussed. Looking forward to the time off

Why are you flying to Thailand during a global pandemic?

Well it looks like I'm not.
If you're asking, why do you have tickets to Thailand it's because I bought them before all this craziness happened.

I think Mazda is wondering why you hope the flight doesn’t get canceled. It implies you actually want to travel during a global pandemic...

The private sector in general has been thus far pretty ignorant on this subject. No one wants this to affect their bottom dollar even if it costs human lives. Government departments are even being stupid about this even after they advised non critical departments are to stay home we still have departments up and running despite the order to stay. I'm considered critical in my role so I have to come in but people doing financial and consumer services are also in the office which is ridiculous but the private sector is just business as usual. Every store, shop, restaurant is open as usual.

Lots of Canadians are still flying to their vacation spots and it's extremely irresponsible of them. I hope they get locked out of the country.

You're in New Brunswick right? A decision like this needs to be federally mandated and it should've been done at least two weeks ago. Restaurants here are finally closing but it's only at the provincial level and not a legally enforced measure.

This entire continent is full of morons.

For the people on the spectrum in our midst:
I was hoping the world would be in such a state that it would be safe to fly by the time I was supposed to leave. This is looking increasingly less likely with each passing day.

I'm kidding of course. The reality is that I'm already out here risking my health while 90% of my co-workers have been sent home. If I was going to fake a cough to get sent home I'd have done it already. It does piss me off how many people are coming to work that are supposed to stay home though and it does worry me to get called into the hospital but if it happens and I'm healthy then I'll be there. The private sector needs to shut down though, the projected death toll numbers are absolutely bonkers.
