Thankfully, it's never going back to the way it was for a lot of people. Selfishly, I'd rather have the roads become more empty.

As surveys suggest, some people enjoy closer contact and like the office environment. And then there are those who are not productive unless someone is looking over their shoulder. If you are not self-motivated, I could imagine that it would put a worker at a competitive disadvantage. Read https://www.fastcompany.com/90508784...m-home-forever

About 8000 employees I suspect only about 4000 are remote at this time. Ill send you an message with little more detail as my employer frowns on social media references.

Excellent info, that was what I needed to gauge how big of a deal it might be. If your firm can talk about closing buildings then others might do the same thing and it could change how cities grow and develop.

If workers in office towers don't have to deal face to face with people like retail stores then those office dwellers could very well stop commuting. WFH could be a side benefit from this terrible virus, just the way WW-2 changed a lot of how we work and live our lives.

A possible upside from moving to a WFH model is that, hopefully, some office towers in dense downtowns could become residences so people can live in a walkable downtown and stop driving everywhere like they do in the suburbs. A lot of people who've come to this site ask for walkable downtowns to live in. If people WFH and stop commuting to city-center it could ease the rush hour gridlock and help to balance traffic flows.

Already pushing another 1,000 new cases today. I'm afraid yesterday wasn't a blip.

How many new tests today? I didn't pay attention to where the total was yesterday.

8,455. That's a significant jump in the percentage positive.

Another bad day for Arizona. It is looking like 1000 cases per day. if not worse, is the new norm. The number hospitalized is twice what it was only a few weeks ago as well. The IMHE model predicted a big increases in cases in June and July along with thousands of deaths through September. They predicted us up there with NY, NJ and the other northeastern states in cases and deaths per 100,000. I thought they were nuts, but whatever they were looking at was apparently correct. Arizona is becoming one of the worst hit states in the country - certainly in the west.

You do realize that the number of cases per day includes antibody tests? Which means 800 of those could be people who have already had the coronavirus and recovered. We just don't know and I'm not sure why they are combining both. The postive % rate has remained constant for weeks now even with increased testing.

More antibody testing being done? It's certainly being included in the numbers..
