The boss played Sting's Don't stand so close to me over the intercom. Yea or nay? I thought it was a bit insensitive.

I am not a fan of the social distancing idea. If you are sick, just stay home.

yes. but the problem is that many infected people do not know that they are infected and spread the virus. if they feel sick they have been infected already for 10-14 days. Social distancing is crucial in this Situation.

Unless he's a teacher and he's having a strange relationship with a student, nope, it's not insensitive nowadays

What Paco Pooley said. It needs to be done because the virus's gestation period is several days long, and asymptomatic carriers are infectious. Young people may never show symptoms, but they'll pass it on to older people who are at much greater risk.

The difference that this graph is showing is how the testing of asymptomatic individuals (as in Korea) reveals FAR more carriers among young people than the testing of only symptomatic individuals (as in Italy).

People in their twenties and, to a lesser extent, thirties and forties, are very likely to be carrying the virus around with them and not knowing it because they're not showing anything we'd read as "being sick." If you've been going to work throughout this, you might already have it and not know it. You may never know it without testing.

Please keep a buffer between yourself and others, especially those who are older or have underlying medical conditions.

I would rather work from home, but it is not an option for me.
