Do you go into an office on work days? Is your company taking precautions? Are you taking personal precautions? Are you planning on attending any conferences soon which are up in the air?

So far we haven't had anything come up from work for precautions, but like you, I live in NYC, so coughs on the subway have definitely felt louder.
A friend of mine also sent a picture from Brooklyn's Trader Joe's that had many empty shelves already, so hopefully we all can stock up on necessities in case things become emergency status.
I've definitely been washing my hands for the full 20-30 seconds and if I feel sick, take time to rest or work from home to make verify symptoms and not infect anyone if I get anything!
How about you?
Ekk, of all places to stock up from Trader Joe's seems expensive.
agreed!!
Nothing 🤷♂
Especially since it's basically not even present in the country (yet)
Non-essential business travel has been canceled at work. In my personal life, I'm considering canceling my trip to France. Not without crying a lot first, of course. I have been dreaming about going to France since I started learning French nearly 10 years ago.
I think it's better to travel now since everybody is more cautious. Better than at the beginning of the year when nobody expected anything.
That is a good point
You could get stuck in a government quarantine (days to weeks) if you happen to be on a flight or in a hotel with someone infected though (this has happened to tons of people). I'd err on the side of caution and wait for the situation to improve a bit.
That's a valid point!
Sahil, Alexander Gauland don't want you to open this can of worms.
As long as you're not from Korea, Iran, or Italy (and of course China), travel to France should be fine! I feel like if you've been dreaming about it for so long, you should go. From what I know, the above countries are the ones that have the most people with corona, and places like the U.S. and other countries in Europe are not as invested in the corona scare.
Currently, as a company, we've not had any big changes!
Some of my team were supposed to be heading to MWC before it was cancelled but it was just to attend so minimal disruption,
I'm supposed to be heading to a conference next week, I'm scared it might get cancelled... I've my holiday booked in the same state after!
But when there it'll be a case of washing hands a lot, using hand sanitiser etc
For me, not much. A friend of mine who works for a very large tech company got his speaking spot at MWC canceled and another friend of mine who's a marketing manager at an international company is having big meetings canceled and bad shipping delays.
My twitter feed is annoyingly full of people talking about this, otherwise it has had zero effect on my life (to my awareness anyways, maybe gas prices have changed)
They dropped significantly for the time being. It's unclear how long that will stay, though.
Cleaning door handles, elevator buttons and toilets 3x a day and a no hand-shakes policy.
Also most people is cutting down on traveling which is bad for a decentralized project.
Personally just a lot of hand-washing and being alert.
I have a cold at the moment so other than “oMg dO yOu HaVe CoRonAvIrUs???” jokes nothing is different!
The jokes are tired, at best.
My international AWS workshops are being delayed or even cancelled
My other startup, fewer students coming to class to avoid CORVID.
Seattle's getting more activity than I'd like. The office sent out an email about it but we're still running as usual.
I think twice before leaving home, especially for anywhere crowded. I'll probably start doing more grocery deliveries instead of going to the store, and I'm wondering if I should ask my out-of-state family to cancel their visit this month 😞
