BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford will declare a state of emergency. A highly placed source tells the @TorontoStar this will give the province the power to shut things down instead of simply recommending shutdowns to prevent the spread of #COVID19 as cases mount.

I think it is a fundamental distrust against others and the government - coupled with widespread disbelief in science in the US that will make this more challenging for them. Ironically this might turn out to be a form of serosorting.

How's everyone doing work-wise during the viral apocalypse? I'm working from home today with two cats on my desk and a dog at my feet. All I need is my daughter's hamster to roll past in her plastic ball. Heading to Costco now..... let's see how that looks.
I have worked from home for years. Happy to offer tips!

I WFH fairly often. Difference from the usual WFH situation is that wife (who usually works from home too) and son are here, so there's more going on.... I started a bit earlier in the day yesterday and today, and am planning to take some longer afternoon breaks every day to get out a bit, be social with family, etc.

I am part of the skeleton staff left to go in to the office until the end of next week, then I am rotated out and will work from home. I think there's 8 out of a normal 80 working here. Biggest development today is someone sending me an IM in a panic that they forgot to water their plants on their desk before they left. I took care of that crisis for them.
There's still a little bustle in the financial district. It's kind of like the morning of Remembrance Day, obviously far fewer people around, some things closed, but not a total shutdown. The sushi place in the concourse had their "30% off everything" sign out first thing this morning instead of making its usual appearance at about 3:30 p.m.

Not a big fan of WFH (I like routines, and this is about as far away from it as it can get). Things are scrambling though.

You have to create your own routine. Get dressed, it makes a psychological difference. Start at the same time. Finish at the same time.

I always get dressed - I hate wearing PJs doing anything but sleep. It's the surrealness of it that gets me.

At Costco on Laird. Not bad. Big line for TP but otherwise ok.

Thanks for doing this.

Me neither. I like the team I work with and enjoy in person teamwork. But I've got enough to do at home for now.
