out of curiosity, has anyone's workplace instituted a travel ban and/or told all employees to work from home until further notice?

we've had 3 clients institute travel bans for their staff and vendors this week.

we are business as usual.


I'm in Northern CA, things are a little escalated here, but yes, neither The Brand nor I can travel.  Her tech employer has closed two buildings in Santa Clara County completely where 2 people have tested positive.

My place of work has not closed, but it's matter of when, not if.  Stanford cancelled all classes after a faculty member tested positive and we will do the same as soon as someone tests positive.  If I'm still in my office by Friday, I'll be shocked.

In case you weren't sure
@washingtonpost
French officials: No, cocaine does not protect against coronavirus https://wapo.st/2TObI2B

Did they do some testing to confirm this?

On Jan 20th 2017 the Dow flirted 20k
On Feb 2020 it flirted with 30k (quite a run)

this morning it's in the 24K range!
I think in the next few weeks we may be back to where we were on inauguration day

This may end up being worse than 2008!

In March 2009 I can recall stock index being at about 6000!

That was a great time to buy

Got the news from my doctor this afternoon. I’m no more likely to get it than anyone else BUT I’m way more likely to die from it if I do.

Can’t wait to tell my wife!
