  - yeah thats my issue, I realize the $100 chair I have is ok for an hour or too, but all day - tRuMaN May 15, 07:29

- I saw that yesterday and was a bit surprised. - ty97 May 15, 07:00 2

- Absolutely. -- nm - pmb May 15, 07:22
- Absolutely. And I agree with spamlet. The two-week period is not absolute, so 3 weeks WFH seems prudent. - ReluctantCynic May 15, 07:19
- Whoa, I can't believe this. Couldn't even tell you what things would be like once he gets here. We're not ourselves, man! -- nm - con_carne May 15, 07:18

    - I still cannot fathom that we are the gold standard for how to handle this. It's bizarre. -- nm - Shaun May 15, 06:58
- Yes. Very much so. -- nm - Diva May 15, 06:38
- I concur. I'd also say, IMO, he shouldn't fly, but if he does choose to, those are the consequences. -- nm - JaxSean May 15, 06:37
- I'd say it's reasonable. The WFH is no biggie and hopefully by the time he's back they'll have more testing available. We just opened testing up to - Krusty May 15, 06:36
