Nationwide Insurance is making telework permanent in five states and reducing its physical office footprint in others. It's going to be even more fun when everyone realized that if everyone is telecommuting, you can get someone for way cheaper in like Oklahoma than you can in, say, Massachusetts.

They were doing that before COVID. The company I currently work for and the one before it bought up Silicon Valley/San Francisco startups and in both instances within months cut everyone loose in California and transitioned those jobs to either Ohio or Utah.

As stated this is already happening in tech. SF & NY companies have been moving to setup outpost in other locations that are cheaper. Trump is the reason why we are seeing a huge number of them setting up shop in Toronto. Before that it was Denver, Austin and the likes.

SaysWho? Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 America’s coronavirus testing numbers are really improving — finally Quote Still, the numbers suggest it’s too early to declare victory. Based on data compiled by the New York Times, just 18 states have seen their daily new reported coronavirus cases drop in recent days — much less the two full weeks experts have called for. Seven states have seen their daily new cases increase, while the remaining 25 have seen theirs remain roughly flat. Taken together, these figures suggest that the majority of states are not ready to start to reopen just yet. While America has made decent progress throughout May in confronting the challenge of this pandemic, there’s still a bit more work to be done.

GeneticBlueprint Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Looking at Utah on that Vox map I wouldn't be surprised. Anecdotally our testing rate seems pretty low because I've taken my FIL to those drive-thru testing stations three times and there's never any line. We're able to just pull right up. According to this Wapo page Utah looks to be in relatively good shape, but that seems pretty meaningless if we're not testing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once you take out NY/NJ/CT numbers out it looks .... A lot worse for us going forward.

Jason Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 My parents were supposed to come visit me March 14. They canceled the trip March 13.

I'm unfortunately in a situation where my girlfriend is temporarily living back in Montreal and we haven't seen each other in over two months now and there's no end in sight seemingly. I know currently they're saying the border will open back up in some capacity on June 21 but I'll believe it when I see it. We've been joking that it must be our fault that border is closed because some cosmic asshole force is clearly throwing everything it has to fuck up our relationship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 My wife and I visited my parents on Mother's Day. Am I an asshole? We've been quarantined seperately since mid-March.

Well, it's been about 10k per week for at least the past 3, looks very much like we'll hit that again. I just don't see how reopening will do anything to that number other than possibly make it go up. We aren't really seeing those deaths yet, probably. I mean, we thought the Trump timewarp effect where he makes every day feel like a week and every month feel like a year was bad, now we have to plug in the week or two delay it takes to really see the effects of opening back up.
