How is WFH horrible?

Hours. It’s so odd to me that my managers feel they can schedule meetings from 7am - 10pm, call me regularly on weekends, expecting me to be in front of my computer working. Sure, I worked a lot of hours before but it seemed the team knew each other enough so that everyone knew each other’s working cadence. Now, I feel i’m expected to be a 24/7 workaholic.

Maybe for those anti-vax. But luckily the vaccines have been pretty effective still again this strain.

SARS-CoV-2 will be endemic forever and this will be one of many, many variants we see.

Vaccines work fine against this one. Promoting social distancing amongst vaccinated people is just dumb at this point.

The likely outcome here is that this thing does have immune escape from sterilizing immunity at some point but immunological memory (i.e., T cells) protects against severe symptoms for almost everyone who has been exposed before (vaccines or prior infections). It’ll be a cold. We’ll want to not overreact.

That’s basically how the other four endemic human coronaviruses work.
