Cricketics Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 In DMV(DC, Maryland, Virginia) where I live, work and study:- - my company is planning on asking all workers to work remotely. - in my University in DC, undergrads have been told to return home and expect to take next few weeks of classes through online portals. Grad students which includes me will also be prepared to take remainder of the semester online. - Virginia and Maryland public schools are planning to go online. Massive challenge for them as these school students, especially elementary kids are in no way use to learning by themselves and transitioning online will be a challenge. - Outside life continues as usual for now but people have been vigilant. Bars, restaurants still continue to be packed. I think this current week and how it ends seems very critical. What is it like at your end? mishra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we are told is to wash hands and avoid all non-essential travel I have always had WFH option but recently have been coming a lot. I do like the F2F at work instead of being fully remote. However, company has asked us to be prepared to move everything online by sending us many emails to ensure all equipment and VPN connection are working well. I still continue to visit office location as of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketics Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 First time hearing a ban on all flights from Europe but since the experts are still finding the root cause of the rpoboem and how to contain it, we have to take such tough decisions. Its a decent experiment to curtain travel by Trump’s team. However, I would have also extended the travel ban to UK too and not just the schengen areas.

Now the regular season about 18 more games per team is suspended. maniac and raki05 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
