I stumbled on this video showing the empty streets of Paris:

Normally the streets in Paris are freakishly busy so seeing them empty like this is so surreal that it is a bit scary.

Oh, and try to spot the hommage to HergĂ©  8)

If you want to make a post apocalyptic movie, this is your chance. It won't be long before those streets fill up again.

I've been tempted to head into the city with camera and a big PRESS vest  ;D
But I think the peak of it is well over in Sydney now, I missed my chance.

Similar scenario here in Texas, but it started on May 1st (yesterday). Store traffic was higher than normal, but most everyone was using mask.

I am still using a mask and gloves as I am one of those 'at risk' being a diabetic and I had a fairly serious operation about a month and a half ago.  What I do see is a growing number of idiots wearing masks below their nose.  Really?  Ron White said it correctly, you can't fix stupid.

Conference calls are regularly ruined by an idiot letting things like background noise in their room create a mix that's hard for everyone on the call to understand.

We just shifted to Microsoft Team Meeting.  I always mute my phone myself unless I need to speak.  I have dogs and no one needs to hear them barking.  Regularly, someone is getting muted because of background noise.  You would think after years of weekly conference calls everyone would get the hang of this.  We're field services techs, we're supposed to understand this stuff. :palm:

paulca:
On conference calls a good quality noise cancelling headset is a must.  In work (and at home) I use a Logitec headset.  On calls it can be spooky that the people using them are so clear is sounds like they are sitting beside you and they don't carry the office (or home) noise either.

When people show up on calls with their iPhone headphones I cringe.  Total trash.
