Oh yeah, my bosses could really stretch the definition of our company to be essential too. It'd be pretty bs though and I'm glad they didn't actually try.
Maryland did too.
The company I work for is telecommunications and construction. We'll keep working so long as people are paying for work.
I start working from home tomorrow. A couple of coworkers are going to keep coming into the office because VPN over satellite is too slow to work on. And I thought I lived out in the sticks.
They forgot "Out of an abundance of caution" (translation: "this is the smart thing to do, but we don't want to appear weak/scaremongering, nor do we want to imply that we have to shut down because someone amidst our ranks has tested positive in the last XX days")
Well got an email saying we're going to do distance learning until at least April 15th, and if you happened to travel back home, you better get back by April 1st, so you can self-quarantine for 14 days. Of course, that April 15th estimate is based off Florida's current Department of Education estimate of when they'll reopen schools. Assuming things don't get better, that date could be pushed back.

So much for "All Lives Matter" and "Pro-Life" stances, huh?
Gov. Ige really needs to get his shit together. We just got stay-at-home orders, statewide, through April 30. But they are still talking about sending kids back to public school on April 7. Oh and even though the beaches are closed it's ok for people to go surf as long as they maintain social distancing. WTF Brah
His concern will solve itself soon.
I know that. You know that. They don't seem to want to believe it.

Yeah my conservative friends are saying that they didn't listen to the president because they took the wrong thing. Chloroquine phosphate instead of the anti-malarial drug chloroquine.
It’s pretty for portraits?
That’s like the only positive I can think of.

Dang, they're so panicked they don't even want to call you in person.
Probably fans of Danger 5:

Good to know the kleptocrats in charge of Alberta are in full swing, while people are distracted by the global pandemic, they're selling off public parks at fire sale rates and demolishing family medical practices by shifting public healthcare money to privately owned tele-medicine services.
