Wednesday, March 18, 2020 – Day 5 of Quarantine
I’m still working-from-home. It sounds like more and more people are doing that. Some places like New York are starting to order people to stay home.
Covid is all that is on the news. The stock market is tanking. More and more people are getting sick.
It’s still affecting far fewer people than the flu did, but it sounds like this has the potential to spread a lot more and a lot faster. You can spread this to a lot more other people before you start showing symptoms, and if you do get it, you are in more danger. So if as many people get it as got the flu, then a lot more people will die from it.
And I’m in the danger range.
And apparently, people are partying on the beaches in Florida, and their governor won’t close them. Have fun getting sick, guys.

We did get takeout last night instead of cooking anything. It was just O’Charly’s. (Don’t judge me.) They were open, but there was only one table with people at it and a few other people waiting on takeout. They did say they were closing at 8.
I feel bad for the people who worked there. I can work from home, but they can’t.

We had our all-hands meeting at work via Zoom yesterday morning. Two hundred people in one meeting. It took almost an hour.
I’ve finished up what testing I could do on my PII project. The tool we were evaluating did a very bad job of finding things. The rep from the company asked if there was a way we could send them some of the data to test against, but I’m not sure how well that will go over.
In the meantime, I guess I’ll be trying to set up a new elastic search cluster using Terraform. This should take me a while.
Especially since I’m still getting continuously interrupted. I have to help change the TV, load the washing machine, boil water for tea, or anything else. And I’m still getting constant news updates.
We’ll see how this goes.
