    Welp. It was bound to happen. My typically healthy girlfriend has just become very ill with a sudden sore throat and chills. Ugh...

    Damn, sounds a lot like Covid-19. I heard the fever often last only for a day. Hope she gets well soon.

    Yeah. I'm pissed. We both work at Bay Area tech companies. Mine was
    aggressive with employing a Work-From_home model rather early, whereas my gf works at Facebook and they insisted everyone come to the office until they
    had multiple cases of their own employees at multiple offices testing
    positive.

    Stupid facebook.

    Dude...You're pretty immuno-compromised right now, right?
    On top of all the other poo you're dealing with, you don't
    need that trash.

    Yeah. And her symptoms are a 1:1 match for COVID.

    She got a nasty sore throat out of nowhere and a fever. In 24 hours the fever was gone and she started wheezing and coughing and having body aches. FML.

    Ditto, Bay Area tech employee here. We went fully WFH today, but pretty sure there are no company-wide infections yet.

    Sorry to hear about your girlfriend, hope she gets well soon.

    I'm doing the opposite - self-quarantining at work. There's 3-5 people
    coming in each day now, and the parking lots around my office are deserted. I'm probably safer here than at home with two kids in school coming home
    each day.

    I think next week I'll broach the topic of working from home. It saves me 2 hours a day, and we have all the remote work accoutrement you could ask for
    - Zoom, Slack, Teams, solid VPN and O365.





    ... Where is the edge?
