Some people have their states listed, but I think you have to click on someone’s profile to see it, if they enter that information. Some folks have their locations listed, for instance, @SAMS is from Long Island, NY.

Right. I was just thinking that. “The risk is low.” Until it’s not

no because they rather lie to make themselves look better for future events rather than be truthful that we as a whole are severely underprepared for this and direct actions taken to remove support and budget and personnel from the organizations that would be on top of this are to blame

Costco said it won't allow workers at its corporate offices to work remotely -- a move it explained as “a matter of equity and fairness,” since workers at its retail locations “cannot work from home.” A look at those working amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
