We do it religiously on projects at work.  Especially product roll-outs.  We capture them and review them when we begin the next product dev cycle.  I'd expect the various governments to do the same.  If not, I'll gladly send them my own post mortem dissertation on all of their failures for this go-round. :)



Yeah, but you're trying to...

  • Earn a profit.
  • Beat the competition.

Government doesn't care about profit and they've got a bunch of guns that say there can be no competition.

Hospitals in my area are laying off large numbers of nurses and support staff already.  They're empty, preparing for a wave of COVID patients that never came.  In the meantime, they canceled all elective surgeries, which are the profitable ones. And Mayo is facing $3 billion in losses. 

Lots of lessons to be learned here.

I think our Governor turned elective surgeries back on again

I thought a company could learn more from failures than successes.  Where I worked, failures were shoved under the rug and never mentioned.

Oddly enough, they became more and more frequent as well.

I despised working there, really despised it.  I found a niche where I could "survive" and punch the clock and do almost nothing.

I still despise everything about them, and I still have stock options for three more years.  I'm tempted to punch them all out and pay the tax man.

My friends still there tell me it's worse, which is not possible.

We ordered flour, and the curbside picker substituted six cans of instant flour. Apparently the only use for this stuff is to thicken gravy, and we haven't made a gravy dish since Thanksgiving. Anyone either A) have good use for this, or B) want it?

I think my wife's surgery center expects to open up in early May.  I think she's worked four days since March 13th.       I'm willing to bet once they can sort out the surgeon and nurse staffing, they are going to be running some rooms on Saturdays and I bet that won't stop the rest of the year. 

Another friend, a judge in Washington State, she's cringing over the likely court calendar in the months ahead.   Just about everything has been bumped and bumped and bumped.  

Were starting to realize that managing PTO/ vacation the rest of the year is going to be nuts.   I haven't taken a single day this year outside of Holidays and virtually nobody has in our company since early February.

I got a jury duty summons for May 1. First time ever. Hoping the court is still closed.

If she were in NY/NJ it'd be different.

Which is one of the lessons we need to learn-- don't use a sledgehammer when the scalpel is the correct tool.  It's okay to treat areas and regions differently.

This was our one shot, and in some ways, we've cried wolf.  The public won't put up with this again.
Well she is in one of the biggest,established Hospitals in Cleveland so just thought there'd be alot more cases.I will say the Governor has been out ahead of the curve on all this for quite some time.So how much is real?Circumstance?preparation?If there is another round do we blow it off or batten down the hatches?

No.

It'd be okay to treat areas and regions differently if no one traveled, ever.  But they do.  A lot.
If the effects of the pandemic have been underwhelming, THEN THE PLAN IS WORKING.  You're suggesting we abandon a working plan.  Stop, please.

Move the goalposts much?   The idea was to flatten the curve, to prevent our hospital system from being overrun.  By all reasonable accounts, that has been accomplished.  Beyond that the plan was to keep people working and do the least damage to the economic conditions that people have, to feed their families.   That is not working.

not everyone has a nannie and a fridge full of gourmet ice cream (thanks Gutfield).
