Work in a NYC law firm. A lawyer I’ve had close contact with tested positive on Monday. We have an “optional” work from home policy. Partner made it clear he expects me in the office still. So I was.

How many partners work in your office and how many did you inform? I would tell others that you trust. Actually, personally, I would email all the partners and say that you are happy to come in, but you wanted all to be aware of the situation as you believe it is dangerous to the health and safety of the office and community, and ask that everyone keep their distance from you. I suspect other partners may step in. This is obviously a risky move to your career if the partner at issue has political power and/or you are a below average associate, but I think it’s the morally correct response and one that could save lives.

It's likely the partner is in the risk factor section. I'd work REAL close with them 🤪 maybe even bring them coffee

If you could legally jump to a higher vaccine priority through money or connections not available to the general public, would you do so?

Assume for purposes of this hypothetical that you have a job and family with a low risk profile, though extended family more at risk. Assume front line health workers and nursing home staff/residents have been vaccinated, but not the elderly or essential workers. Assume you would accelerate your and your family’s vaccinations by three months.

For us NYers, has anyone’s firm given a concrete estimate/indication of when we’ll be expected to be back in the office?

Seems like other industries (tech obviously, but also big4) have been more forthcoming - wfh through end of the summer, etc., - even as the reopen momentum seems to grow in the city. Any info/educated guesses?

I’ve been on the same dose of Vyvanse since fall 2019. It still works. I notice a difference when I don’t take it. But I think I miss the rush I used to get when I would feel my meds kick in — like I could handle anything and I knew my meds were working. That plus the hyper focus that was still within my control (not the time blindness hyper focus where you fixate). Does anyone still get that? Is it worth trying to change my meds? Or is this just what it feels like to be “normal” now?
