Social Distancing Anyone?
Current numbers:
15.309 cases / 44 deaths in Germany; 2737 cases / 11 deaths in Baden-Württemberg.
Italy has now more deaths than China, with half the numbers of infected persons. This happens when the health system is hopelessly overwhelmed and not all cases can be treated properly anymore :o( Let's hope they reach the peak very soon.
All employees of my company in German locations are required to work from home now. Those who can’t, for instance data center support teams, need manager approval and must report their access requirements to a pandemic task force. For everyone else, the office buildings’ doors won’t open anymore. Canteens are closed, but there will be pick up points for take away lunches.
Meanwhile, there are a lot of people out and about who apparently haven’t understood the seriousness of the situation yet. Teenagers and young folks sit together in large groups, using the time off from school and university to drink beer and have BBQs. And even elder people who are at serious risk of dying from Corona go shopping, chitchat with others, and don’t keep any distance.
