It's going to be a disaster... At least your company is giving people the option to go back to WFH. My company thinks we'll be pretty much 40/60 spilt between office and home until after Christmas (and that's without a second spike). :/<br /><br />Glad you got some good news in the middle of all this mess! Whatever it was, definitely worth celebrating.

And without strong measures, people have refused to take this seriously. It's much worse in south Florida (the positive rate in Miami is now well over 15%) but my city is definitely on the rise.

(I'm sure you've heard it, too.) Some just refuse to admit that appropriate action wasn't taken and now it's out of control. Today - finally - the mayor has ordered that masks are mandatory county-wide in public when social-distancing is not possible.
