A Movement to Stop the Covid-19 Pandemic

Seems like focusing on blaming individuals rather than:<p>- Employers don&#x27;t allow telecommuting.<p>- Employers with draconian sick leave policies.<p>- No paid sick leave for the majority of jobs (and or strict limits).<p>- Limited access to testing to know if you have Covid-19 (Vs. a common cold). Which is significant with e.g. Walmarts new policies which ONLY allow Covid-19 paid sick leave.<p>Ultimately we set up a system where most people lose by default, then we critique those people for their personal failings without a hint of irony.

For many years now, I have - 5 times a week - left a building with a computer and Internet access to travel for an hour or more to a building with a computer and Internet access to talk to my colleagues - almost exclusively over Slack and GitHub - for many hours, before traveling back to the same building I left earlier that day. Often, I carry the computer I used throughout the day with me.<p>Apparently working from home isn&#x27;t going to be allowed...<p>Oh well.

Great advice, but the expletive will limit its reach. Consider adding another alternate domain so that this can be shared with friends&#x2F;family whom might find this offensive.

The page lacks something about how to deal with kids. That&#x27;s a huge point for those of us that have toddlers and kids at home.

Good idea. A bit unfortunate naming.

We started to do this in Spain today and we&#x27;re LATE.<p>Please stay at home if possible, the idea is to reduce the amount of infected and spread the infection over time so we do not saturate the hospitals.<p>Don&#x27;t need to panic, just do it.

I&#x27;m curious about the 2% death rate number. How can we rely on this number if test kits are in such limited supply and the rate of &quot;Severe&quot; symptoms is only 15%? Is the death rate only calculated out of known cases? do we only know about the severe cases?

What is the point of this?<p>The tone will not accomplish anything<p>the content is already known, albeit most of the points are good advice<p>no new ideas are proposed<p>stats (morbidity, % critical, etc) are still not stable or very helpful at this stage<p>second-order (let alone deeper) consequences are not discussed at all.

My work (client rather than employer) has divided all teams in two, where team A is allowed to come to the office this week, but has to work from home next week, while team B telecommutes this week and can come to the office next week.<p>Despite being in team A, I&#x27;m not allowed to come to the office because my son has a cold that&#x27;s already cured. But without a negative test, I still have to telecommute for two weeks.<p>They seem to be a bit more paranoid than your average health expert, but I guess it&#x27;s better to be safe than sorry. I will definitely miss seeing the other half of my team, though.

Probably 100K people max will see this website and the audience is probably skewed toward people who are already well educated on covid-19 precautions

Anybody know if there is a safe for work version of this? I would like to share it with my colleagues but the choice of language means I can&#x27;t.

Corona doesn&#x27;t stop. Many of us will get infected and many of us [in a relative sense] will be fine after fighting the virus. The thing we need to focus on is making sure the contagion happens at a speed so it doesn&#x27;t overload our hospitals. German counselor Merkel said that probably 70% will get infected, so we should focus on having too many people infected at the same time.

Quick question ... wouldn&#x27;t a more appropriate response be to self quarantine those age groups most at risk?

While people in tech can easily do all this, not everyone can. Eg: supermarket employees can. Much like pretty much anyone who works on-site.<p>&gt; Do not use public transportation if not absolutely necessary.<p>Yeah, cause everyone lives within walking distance of their jobs.

My wife and I are perfectly situated to simply stay at home. We live in a small town in the mountains (which unfortunately gets 1.5 million tourist visitors a year, many international visitors).<p>We always talked about staying at home and just talking with friends and family via FaceTime or phone during a pandemic. The problem is that I volunteer at the local food bank and my wife teaches in a reading program, so for us, STFH means that we are walking away from obligations.

What is the path for rebooting society after all this? In the absence of a vaccine, what would be the “all clear” signal?

Very pleased to see developers trying to contribute to the community to their capacity. But, I am curious to know the impact of this #StayTheFuckHome movement.

If you have symptoms that feel like death I am telling you to discount this persons&#x27; advice, get yourself to the doctor because you may very well be dying.<p>Also a site that&#x27;s just better:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zocdoc.com&#x2F;about&#x2F;coronavirus-covid-19-2&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zocdoc.com&#x2F;about&#x2F;coronavirus-covid-19-2&#x2F;</a><p>Here&#x27;s the advice from this site:<p>&gt;Contact your primary care provider before going to their office. Be sure to let them know if you’ve been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus, or if you’ve recently traveled to an area where the virus is spreading, whether or not you have symptoms. If you don’t have a doctor to contact, you can also reach out to your local board of health.<p>^^that up there is proper advice.
