The Lamestream Media has taken heretofore unprecedented steps to protect its “journalists” during the Coronavirus pandemic. CNN has even instructed them to lie from home rather than from in the field.
Then, that’s the advantage of working for CNN during the (mis)information age; you can pretend to report upon the news from almost anywhere.
Yep! With all the Lamestream Media’s erratic fear-mongering and the Democrats’ constant attempts to use this outbreak as a means of attacking our President, I’m not sure if this is COVID-19 or COVID-1984.
Really! What does all of their hate- and fear-filled jabbering boil down to other than, “Coronavirus is ungood and anything President Trump does or doesn’t do is doubleplusungood!”
Yeah, we can all forget about suits and ties. We can say goodbye to sport coats or blazers with a button-down shirt and slacks. We’ll even need to leave our polo shirts and chinos in the closet. The days of the various businesswear dress codes are over.
Yes, the new businesswear for Coronavirus and beyond is and will be pajamas, a comfy robe, and slippers. There’s no point in anything, given that telecommuting / remote work is currently “required” for most people and that is not going to change even after the panic over this disease fades in favor of the media’s next trick.
Don’t expect things to go back to how they were before. This is our new normal. There may be a short term rush back to the office, but it won’t last for most of us. We’ll fairly quickly be heading back home to telecommute.
Companies in several verticals have now learned that they can have mostly remote workers and they’ll quickly realize that it is cheaper and more profitable to continue this.
And there’s even the perfect, recurring rationale for it. COVID-19 is functionally “just” a severe seasonal flu. So, next year’s flu season has just as much “need” for self-quarantining, social distancing, and sheltering in place to some extent. The seasonal flu does, after all, kill 12,000 – 61,000 Americans every year and hospitalizes another 140,000 – 810,000.
So yeah, better for the companies’ bottom line and easily rationalized as a responsible and compassionate course of action. Get used to your jammies, robe, and slippers, my friends. đ
You’all go ahead with craziness and panic buying. I’m old enough to work around your failings. đ
A Bit O’ Green – Just A Bit though
Well, it’s St. Patrick’s Day once again, and it’s time to wear a bit o’ green. Indeed, with the semi-mandatory “social distancing” due to the panic over the Coronavirus, all you really need is just a bit of it … and not a whole lot else.
