Would you be going back to work (although you don't normally, I think, so rephrase that to, may, hanging out down the pub)? I don't think there is confirmation yet that having it confers future immunity, so there is still a small chance you could catch it and/or pass it on again. --- End quote --- I'm working from home anyway so I'm not going to go back to the office for a while, it would be nice to see my coworkers but I really don't mind working from home and am content to do so almost indefinitely. There is very little I can do at the office that I can't do from home so even if the risk is low so is the reward. I would however feel a lot more comfortable doing things like going to the hardware store to pick up lumber and supplies for some projects around my house, going over to visit my mom, maybe having a friend over for a beer in the back yard or heading to the park to fly model airplanes. I'm not going to just full on go jump into a big crowd of people but it would be useful information in the risk analysis involved in day to day life. Nothing is ever completely safe, the risk is never zero, but if it turns out I've already had Covid then I can be reasonably confident of having at least *some* degree of immunity, as well as that would suggest that I'm unlikely to get seriously ill even if I do get it again since I was only mildly sick with whatever I did have. Sure it's possible it could hit me much harder and kill me but I could croak at any time for any number of reasons, it's all about informed decisions and calculated risk. |

We found out yesterday that the shelter in place has been lifted here in Florida but doesn't actually start Monday. There will be a phase one where retail stores can reopen to 25% of capacity. Restaurants can use outdoor seating if it is 6 feet apart. Elective surgeries will be resumed. However, Barber shops, hair and nail salons are not allowed to open yet as are gyms and bars. There is no mention when phase 2 will begin. I assume that will depend on how phase 1 works. No word right now on state and local government office openings though it seems some will start opening on Monday. |

Working from home, where data exchange is the key to communication, works fine. The digital video part of video conferencing works well enough. Still images like computer screens are transferred just fine. Adjustable video quality works well enough, particularly since it isn't all that vital anyway. However, the deficiencies of the digital audio part of video conferencing are clearly being revealed. Long-distance users in particular often aren't clear, depending on the way the multiple digital voice streams are added together. |
