My company has discovered people are actually more productive working from home.  I would imagine it will be 2021 before they reopen our office too. 

I don't doubt it but I wonder how they measure that.

I work with physical products and everything takes longer and it really sucks. I think I'd probably be best like 2-3 days/week in an office/lab and the rest at home.

We had a record sales month for June.

interesting thread.  i think some of the concern about permanent effects from the virus is very slightly overblown (overblown by those that are concerned about it, not by the majority of the country that isn't thinking about it at all).  damage to lungs, heart, etc from sars seemed to mostly clear up within three years, and until there are data that indicate otherwise, that would seem to me to be the best guide for long-term cov2 effects.

however, the cognitive impacts may fall into a different category.

I bet the vaccine won’t be released until after the election. They probably already have it.

My company just announced optional WFH until 2021 (with max capacity at offices that basically means it's mandatory), guidelines for people who want to relocate, and openly said they're asking all department heads to determine who can WFH permanently

WFH discussed on our weekly covid staff meeting. Prez wants to bring em back. All the managers are team no effin way. Keep em home and keep the productivity up.

I suggested knocking down office walls and expanding warehouse space. That's going to be my process improvement suggestion for the quarter.

And putting another huge expansion on the home office.

Unfortunately the owner of this company very much believes in the office experience.

I'm supposed to go back to the office on August 17th. I think we're going to have split schedules where the office is only 50% full. We'll see what happens.

The Prez is team office obviously. If you're not seen, you're not working. Pandemic has been hard on him.

we are starting to have people travel domestically and internationally. And they're making sure people know about it. They are the "if you're not seen traveling, you're not working" crowd

My auto allowance kicked back to full pay. They obviously expect me to get moving again. So, next week I'll head up to Indianapolis for a couple of nights.

Ouch. Suggested 14 day quarantine if a Kentucky resident made that trip.

With inconsistent data and testing bottlenecks, I've been looking at excess deaths and changes there.

We're still in overall decline but not as steep.

california has no travel restrictions at all that I'm aware of. I tried to find details on US and Mexico travel and we seem more worried about crime

he may or may not have invented the term, but he without a doubt made "coronabros" a part of our everyday lexicon. (I mean, imagine using that word seriously)

For those that melt down about every thing Corona related, it's appropriate.
