Now that's what I call FEAR POOOOOOOOORRRRRRNNNNNNNNN!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!! FULL ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!!!!Most people still remember the 2.5 MILLION dead prediction.
Thats what they hear bouncing around in their heads. But they're beginning to think. Less than 40K dead. And my family life is upside down.
I can't go to church. I can't hug my grandchildren. I can't be with my parents when they die in the ICU.
And bureaucrats keep exercising more and more power extending the time they stay in control.
More people die from the flu every year. We do nothing. We're staring down the barrel of a depression.
MY kids and grand kids lives may never be the same. And you say OK.
Here's what the new normal is going to be, guys. Coming soon to your neighborhood -- June 1 or before. It isn't going to be so crazy.
My wife works for a big tech company based in the Valley. They have hundreds/thousands of employees at their main locations. Haven't announced a re-open date, because (like any normal rational business) they know that re-opening in the face of high health risk is simply stupid business.
But re-opening is coming sometime relatively soon. They've already figured out their re-open plan. They are already communicating with employees about what the rules will be once everyone returns:
1. Thermoscanners to enter any company facility.
2. Need to be wearing a mask to enter any company facility.
3. Inside, everyone wears a mask at all times unless you are sitting alone in your cube/office and six feet away from everyone else.
4. Rules to keep too many people from gathering together in conference rooms and cafeteria.
5. Lots of Zoom and conference calls -- even for people down the hall.
5. Company gym closed.
6. Encourage those with tele-commutable jobs to work from home a few days a week so that the headcount inside on any given day will never be close to 100%.
7. For places like labs and manufacturing locations where the people really need to be in the physical location to get work done, staggered schedules so people have more elbow room.
That plan is quite sustainable for however many months it needs to be maintained.
If you add some fast/easy/available testing to the above, it would work even better.
Fan -- what will it look like when you go back to making hooch again? Since you are currently operating as an artisanal hand sanitizer factory (+1 for that!!) I assume you probably have a pretty good idea already.
