Well, life isn't that good - I work for a huge company with 10k+ engineers on a single complex. Since early March our site started to go crazy, and this isn't just our campus, but most of the huge companies work like this:
- Everybody has to wear facial masks to enter anywhere indoor.
- They pulled out half of the chairs in the cafeteria. No chatting while eating; there are people carrying signs to remind people to stay silent. Instead lunch is served for 2 hours and we are given time slots when we can go to the cafeteria.
- There are temperature-sensing cameras everywhere, hand sanitizers everywhere
- No meeting with more than 5 people; large meetings are done by distributing people in smaller groups and then setting up videoconference; meeting organizers have to make sure everybody is assigned to a meeting room and ensure there are only five people per room. This has a benefit that we have less of those useless meetings.
- So far we have no shortage / hoarding / anything except facial masks. I get all the groceries I want (although we intentionally go fro groceries when there are less people) but most of the people I know just use delivery services.
- No school. Kids have to stay at home for weeks. Not good.
So far, everything seems to be sorta working... except the uncomfortable facial masks... and stressed-out parents (and kids) due to having no school.
