We now have 75 cases of infected employees in our office. This number was 67 over the weekend so that’s +8 in one day. A lot of people in my department are opting to stay home again. HR stresses that almost all cases of infection are from activities outside of work. The company is making everyone wear surgical masks in the office instead of just the cloth ones. We know that’s not happening in California in general.
Speaking of California, the governor has re-closed a bunch of businesses again, including churches. My church just sent out an email letting everyone know that the church is shut down again until August 2nd. The senior pastor was very adamant about opening up the church for Memorial Day weekend. I don’t understand why people can’t just stay home for another few weeks. We need to figure out work and daycare but to haphazardly go out to random gatherings is just careless or stupid. California initially seemed to control the spread of COVID-19 but here we are in July, and emergency rooms and ICU’s are running out of beds again.
