The residential area just north of us is highly sought after and usually a For Sale sign disappears in days once it's up.  Of late, they have been lingering quite a bit longer and there are a lot more signs as a result.  The condo market around us is tight still (last I checked).

There is nothing in our building on the market.

Good news on the local front.  Local hospitals down to just 1,500 COVID patients.

After four days of concerning figures on "new cases", GA has had three days of fairly modest figures, so perhaps there is no surge around these parts.  There is no decline either.  Another hotspot has come to pass over nearer Augusta, a rural county.

Florida seems to be doing OK. Positive tests are at 5.7% right now, overall, but are running more like 2% recently.

There are occasional spikes in daily cases, but that could be reporting issues. Deaths have really dropped. The past 2 days there have been 2 deaths, down from a peak of 59 on May 4.

Maybe, but there's never going to be a substitute for the trust found in face-to-face meetings with your peers and Leadership.  Performance being roughly equal, the remote guy in Salt Lake that I've never met in person, is likely the first one I'm going to fire or lay off, over the rest of the team that's here in the Bay Area with me, that I see at our biweekly staff meeting when we're all in the office together.  Know what I mean?

 we are old... so yes, I do.

The generations coming into the workplace are probably more comfortable talking on skype or zoom than they are in person.   I don't think companies will go completely virtual, but there will be more flexibility and for some roles, it won't matter.

https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-best-health-infrastructure-for-coronavirus-pandemic/74483/#methodology

this is the link to the methodology.   I get that it is focused around the pandemic, but I'm still surprised by some on the top 10 based upon historical rankings of care and health within those states.

10 best and worst states with health infrastructure...  not really what I expected.


all of the 10 best are red states

9 of 10 of the 10 worst are blue states

is that just a fluke or is there an underlying reason

BTW right now there's a huge problem with case numbers because some states have been including positive antibody tests in the same reporting as positive confirmed [i.e. active] tests.

This has a corollary in that it has allowed to "rapidly increase our testing capacity" which seems to skew towards a lower percentage of positive tests, as the antibody tests are targeted at asymptomatic people whereas the PCR tests are targeted at people who legitimately think they have COVID.

As my wife's friend's 2 year old is known to say... "Issa mess."
