 Good day, mate. I'm thinking the new home office is going to New workplace is going to look very different from the one we left behind You know contract tracing apps for coworkers. We're going to have elevator safe zones Infrared body temperature scanners So looking at this Washington Post article business is going to reimagine office spaces after the coronavirus You know sneeze guard partitions safe zones Telling you where you can stand in an elevator I'm going to close down gyms that in office buildings You know infrared temperature Scanning I think that's an excellent idea so that anyone who's got a fever they're going to be told to stay home We're going to rethink floor layouts. You have a lot more people working remotely in a staggered work schedules I think scanning temperatures that that should become mandatory in public places and We're going to have contact tracing apps so that someone tests positive in the office We can find out everyone who interacted with them But mandating thermal scanners. I think that's a great idea for public places We're going to much more widespread testing Staggering arrival time so elevators don't become crowded Liminating buffets and Shared serving tools in the cafeteria taking out furniture To create more social distancing more constraints you have in your office layouts less people will be able to adjust Distributing masks maybe masks will become mandatory for months even years screening for symptoms closing on side gyms limiting seating in cafes More frequent more visible cleaning during the day Don't think we're going back to normal So we'll have carpet tiles delineating a six-foot radius around a desk Disposable paper mats can place on shared desks We're going to have Plastic covers to put on shared laptops and computers We're going to limit seating seating may be roped off removed from conference rooms to cut occupancy in half Doors may be taken off hinges propped open so employees can avoid touching handles Maybe people will be Moving in one way traffic flows down hallways To help employees avoid passing each other to be closely You know spacing a desk to maintain distance every other seating arrangements Possible snap-on desk partitions to give employees more of a sense of protection You have additional barriers a sneeze guard effect face masks deeper office cleans footballs We're going to need doors with hands-free access going to develop hand signs or space markers for Co-workers remind them to keep their distance We got to have some sort of universal cues to remind people you're too close to me. I need space You can have more clean desk policies So maybe we'll be putting away picture frames and chuchkas and personal memorabilia Traditionally private desks don't get cleaned very often. Maybe that will change People's deaths were often dirtier than a toilet So Over the past five years companies have used motion or Wi-Fi detecting sensors to monitor whether spaces were being underused now They can use that monitoring to see if spaces are being overused if companies do temperature screening I'll take longer to get into work Not gonna be able to get in into buildings as quickly Office design will be revolutionized huddle spaces will get co-opted Kind of socially distant for plans Wood surfaces may get replaced. It's our sure at cleaning solutions come into use Breeze to bars or beer tops to promote congregating may get shuttered So there's been this great amenity war and office design that encourage random meetups between workers Now people are going to try to do the opposite Many people are going to find that they prefer to work from home Many employers will actually prefer to have employees working from home Staggered lunch times will become a thing You'll have massive upgrades to heating and cooling systems I've installing automatic doors Maybe corona virus will affect architectural design. You'll have restroom entrances without doors Voice activated elevators The the demand for office space is going to go way down It's more and more people work from home so many firms are finding they they do quite well with Many most of their employees just working from home No longer you can have people working just a few inches away from each other The air circulation systems are going to be revamped People will get more into video meetings But yeah office space is going to go way way down demand for that is going to go way down and Looking at Latest research here latest scholarship on Carl Schmitt.

We're more into nudging people So it's not at all clear that Sweden's approach is worse more dangerous So Sweden's continually reminding people to socially distance to wear masks, but we don't need to close down everything The big debate we're facing right now in Sweden is around care homes for older people These homes account for Sweden's higher death rate compared with our neighbors See sailors as of the vague impression that Swedes have a sort of an Eskimo view of elder deaths when it's time to float off on the ice Flow it's time to float off on the ice flow So Sweden schools are staying open And though they're in the middle of the epidemic There's a possibility that esymptomatics might be contagious But the amount of spread is probably fairly small compared to people who show symptoms. That's the view from Sweden There are enough signals to show that we can think about herd immunity Very few cases of reinfection have been reported globally. How long in the herd immunity will last we do not know There is definitely an immune response and Colin the dull Put Link here to Veronica regrets nothing and back after a long social media detox Sitting around and crying about the past is a waste of time better to learn from your mistakes and move on It needs to be a balance of logic and empathy when discussing things with people, especially difficult topics I've always been very cold when discussing things as if my emotions were a weakness when they could help me communicate COVID-19 is extremely dangerous for old people but looking at pandemics are worse scenarios than this one So Sweden is going its own way and kind of going the way of herd immunity CBC LR ask huge questions. How much economic carnage Sweden has endured due to voluntary actions compared to neighbors like Denmark and Norway with state policies Do government policies not matter that much compared to consumer and business choices?

So there are three seasons on homeland and Quite like the show particularly the first two seasons So he wrote his weekly column for tacky mag One of the more interesting TV series of the past decade is occupied an intelligent Norwegian nationalist political thriller now available on Netflix It's both an anti-European Union tribute to the Norwegian people and the near utopian country. They have built And a clear-eyed critique of their increasing foolishness although played out with stoic gravity Show offers an amusing satire on Nordic gender relations as its hand-packed heroes Consult and persuade their feminist wise to heed their husband's warnings that life is about to become far more serious First two seasons are an impressively lucid imagining of a future European political crisis While an American movie would concentrate on explosions An American TV show on soap opera this Norwegian thriller Focuses on its characters trying to decide what their loyalty should be in this fluid situation Occupied serves as a vast metaphor for what happens to a feminized culture finds itself cast back into the old masculine world of force It's based upon a 2012 story idea by best-selling detective novelist Joe Nesba Takes a Hobbesian view of human nature I think the feeling that we Norwegians are secure and things can't really change is an illusion he cautions Occupied's portrayal of a political Peter Emphasizes something I've never seen before in fiction What elevates the Prime Minister above everybody else in Norwegian life? So every time this underlings bring him a problem no matter how hopeless it seems He's inexhaustibly willing to make the phone call right now in the hope that he can conjure up the right words to find a solution Throughout this TV show occupied Norwegian women are depicted as mildly contemptuous of their men folk and able to resist darker men from afar Pretty young lawn recruits a pudgy computer genius to help her get a black Muslim immigrant boyfriend out of prison for an attack on a Russian facility Smithen he performs prodigies of hacking in a service But with no response whose heart belongs to Faisal from Somalia Occupied portrays the Russians Having more appealing personalities than the Norwegians The Nordic men are depicted as efficient but charmless Are their earnest solicitousness Toward their women's folks feminist prerogatives tends to irritate the Norwegian women into petulance The Russian characters in contrast understand sex differences better Their ambassador is Machiavellian, but her flashes of womanly warmth make her the most likable female character The journalist's wife's boyfriend is Russian has a sense of fantasy attracted to women And you presumably learn from attending Swan Lake and the nutcracker at the Borsche Ballet Perhaps the summit of feminine oriented high culture While the Russians are pictured as opportunistic ruthless and grasping they also have some of the admirable traits such as more classical taste than Norwegians When the Russians arrive in Oslo, they acquire most of the impressive old stone buildings Leaving the Norwegians their plethora of apple store like glass metal 21st century offices in Heims On the TV show occupied all of Norway lives in a house of glass
