What companies planned to go back around Labor Day and have now pushed that date further out due to Delta/breakthrough cases?

Thoughts on office reopening with the spread of the delta variant?

Started working at client location (flight/hotel). With the Covid surge (Delta), do you see it as a big personal risk. I’m vaccinated but won’t have visibility on people I meet. What would you do?

Friend of a friend just died of covid (delta). Not vaccinated. Please be careful out there everyone. I wish this was over but it’s not.

What are you thoughts on splitting shared expenses 50/50 or proportionate to income with SO? What if both make over $175k but there is still a significant % delta (30%+)? Mid 20s, bought a condo together (split 50/50) and will likely get engaged soon.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that we’re not gonna be required to come back in the office come September with the delta variant picking up speed

Isn’t JETS a solid long term play? Granted most airlines are down due to this delta variant and I’m sure it might drop a bit more, but with the way everyone is traveling I don’t see how this doesn’t play out well long term

Fishes.. Used my points to book first class on delta domestic. I am at the gate and just noticed that while I am in the first class cabin right now my next flight seat is comfort plus. Any ideas?

Likelihood of the Delta variant pushing back going into the office? Interested in thoughts re: NYC and elsewhere!

Tier 2 to MBB at Manager level? I have a "round 0" discussion with a senior MBB partner this week and am not feeling excited by it. I'm currently at a strong practice at a T2, and am considering whether the upside of moving outweighs the risk.

I'm in the UK, where there is a meaningful pay delta at the same level, and expect TC would be 20-25% more. I do feel like I'm paid pretty well as it is. My typical hours are 55-60, with occasional peaks at 70. (Continued below)

Would like to visit Venice, Italy. Australian citizen in the USA on a L1 visa. Vaccinated. Aiming Aug 3. Is this just foolish given all the delta variant uncertainty…?

For delta if I have status that lets me check in 3 bags and I purchase 2 tickets for me and a family member using points does my family member also get 3 bags aka we can check in 6 bags total?

This might raise few eyes. I was thinking just because Chicago and IL is a blue city/state no one is questioning the decision to have the Lollapalooza this year. It seems crazy with cases on the rise and the delta variant. If this would hv been a red state I know a lot of media agencies and people would have made a lot of noise.
For background, I am an immigrant and have no political allegiance

Ive been bullish since June and expect this rally to continue until late August. After that, I’m loading up on VIX and value stocks. Open to feedback/different viewpoints. Delta variant is irrelevant IMO.

Week of July 26th
- Choppy mid-week due to interest rate decision on 7/28

Week of August 2nd
- Bullish all week leading up to July Jobs data

Week of August 9th
- Inflation data might cause slight pullback but still bullish

Week of August 16th
- Bullish until options expiry on August 20th

Have a delta Amex, anyone know if I can switch account to a “normal” Amex or will I need to reapply all over again? I want to avoid a credit pull on my report, if possible

What are your thoughts on splitting shared expenses proportionate to income when you are living together with your SO? What about if both make over $175k but there is still a significant % delta (30%+)?

Do people think return to office plans will be impacted at all by the delta variant?

I’m vaccinated but getting very nervous about the delta variant. I’m reading a lot about pretty bad breakthrough cases. My husband is immunocompromised (but vaccinated).

Most people at my office don’t seem to care at all about Covid, we don’t have a mask policy, etc. I’m getting really nervous about spending so much time in the office. Ugh

Thinking of re-vamping my cc strategy. Currently have the Amex Plat and the Delta Amex Plat (mainly just for the companion pass each year which cancels out the AF) but because of the increase in Amex Plat’s AF I’m thinking of downgrading to Amex Gold, then getting Delta Reserve card for Skyclub access to replace my Delta Plat card. Thoughts on this or is there something I’m not thinking of? Lounge access and Amex’s transfer partners are the two main priorities to me

Anyone who used to be anti vaxx or vaccine hesitant that was persuaded to get the vaccine? I love my sister and worried about her not getting the vaccine because she believes it causes infertility. She lives in a highly unvaccinated population and has been frustrated with me for not doing indoor activities with her without us both masked because I am very worried about breakthroughs with the Delta variant. I am also on an immunosuppressant due to IBS, so I've made it clear that I'm (continued)

The delta variant has me wanting to use all my pto now in case the world goes back into lockdown mode again

Do you think we’ll have more lockdowns due to the delta variant? Cases seem to be going up quite fast.

Do we think there's a chance that school could go hybrid/virtual this year due to the delta variant?

Do you feel comfortable or uncomfortable returning to the office with uncertainty on the delta variant? Are your offices requiring mask use regardless of vaccination status?

I moved into my apt during the pandemic last summer and got COVID price of $2800 for 2 bedroom that I share with my partner in a prime area of LES. The other bedroom we use for his office. It’s a newly renovated building too. Got an email asking if I’d like to renew the lease with the same rate for another year. Is this rare? Have other people been offered the same to keep the same lease price? I wonder if it has to do with the delta scare and people possibly wanting to leave NYC.

Traveling next week for a client after a long time. Booked a Delta Main Cabin ticket through concur. Now I am trying to upgrade to 1st using my points but the delta app shows all premium seats as unavailable. Usually it did let me change it in the past but not this time. Have Delta policies changed for ticket upgrades from Main Cabin to Comfort+ or 1st? I recall all DL Main tix were eligible for upgrade as a additional purchase option.

Delta is amazing. That is all.

How do you all feel about Return to Office with the delta variant now getting serious? Things look like they’re getting more serious, even with a vaccine.

So with places like LA requiring masks indoors again and with the delta variant going around, will going into BCG offices ever be permanently optional?

Glad DT isn’t in office, otherwise he would’ve called the Delta Variant the India Virus or something

What’s the deal with the delta variant? Some of my chums think we may lock down again. And is the market really this concerned? Is it all malarkey?

Do you think the delta variant will delay return to work dates? My office is open on a voluntary basis right now and we are required to come in 2x a week post labor day.

Question- can you get covid from the cook who prepared your food if the cook is infected? Delta variant too.
