Working From Home - Impacts of Coronavirus
paulca:
Death numbers....
People are dying, lots of people. Real people with families, lives, dreams. Saying they would die anyway from <insert statistic> is cold, dark, psychopathic.
The spread...
It spreads faster and further than any seasonal cold or flu. It kills more. Without any restrictions or social distancing it would be spreading even faster. Speculate all you want.
Over running hospital systems...
See comments on "Millennium bug syndrome." Also, see Italy. See Spain. Remember the US is behind them by a few weeks. The US data has been marching steadily upwards. This is NOT over.
Government, power, partisan bullshit...
What the US do with their power, narcissist toddler leader and "FREEDOM!"[tm] capitalism is up to them. Good luck.

You guys are now spewing politics, whether you admit it or not. Keep it up and this thread will get locked too. Is that your goal?

Fair point. I nuked my post above.
Back to working from home and internet problems. Today I get told the ISP is having to refer this to OpenReach who have a 2 week lead time at the moment on broadband issues at best. :palm:. So 95 disconnects in the last 24 hours. So it looks like there's a demand problem on this infrastructure. I have backup 4G from my phone for now.

Works pretty well and it is enforced legally. The same can work for gyms, etc. And don't forget: people who work from home can create their own schedule. They are no longer bound to a '9 to 5' rythm. From a biological standpoint there is no rule which says humans (like to) work best from 9 to 5.

Most people do not work from home and will not in the future. Things aren't going to be that radially different. Yes some business will realise work form home isn't that bad and will move a bit in that direction. But I'm willing to bet that in a few years time when this has all blown over, the world will on average look and work very little different to what it did 3 months ago.
Do you have kids?If not then you likely won't understand why a lot of the daily/weekly routines exist.

I have kids for over 2 decades. The youngest is getting on-line lessons. I've also been working from home for nearly a decade. The only reason to adhere to a strict schedule is when people really need to work together on the same item at the same time. Now think hard of where that is really really true. In the end the answer is likely meetings and team sports.
