We've gotten similar marching orders.

We're quasi-remote and in-person but to a minimized point which in essence is really squeezing my departments operations, but does not hinder our overall Operation, or most other departments, so most of our work force is content and chipper.

It's nice to know the functionality of a zoom/webex work for most of the modern workforce, but having come from the real side of things to now where my whole function is webex-based ... I can see (if this continues for all of '21 through 22) this being the time to "find somethin' different" to pass my days on this Earth.

We have well under 25% back at "the Office" spaces at any one time, and if things get bad they'll go to true minimum personnel and heavy(ier) cleaning. If it goes there, '21 is done.

Hoping and praying for some logic to take the place of the stupidity that happened in the beginning of all this from Government leadership all across the board. This virus ... it is still not certain why mostly it affects old people and the immuno-compromised, yet amazingly we always see the headline of some young chap or lass who drops dead within days of finding out they are infected, and the mystery length of time of infectious spreading capability. We're a ways off yet even with a vaccine on the horizon lifting hopes. I wager we're in this boat for 2 years or so ... at least that's how I am treating my preparations currently.

Heaven help certain industries ever returning and small businesses surviving. And how strong others will become in the interregnum.

I think they have the table set nicely to try and rip the cloth from underneath (and set off the "great reset" ).

Stay safe both of you, while I am in the office I might as well be in a bubble at times - but being in the presence of other people might be the only interaction some people get - either total or just away from their families. Be well guys and take care of yourselves!
