Your office is able to clear out the COVID-19 for 3 days a week! That's pretty cool.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Maybe it's a situation where different groups are in the office at different times? That's what we do.

This would be my guess. Employers are more worried about staffing than employee safety.

Yeah, I was just being a troll. Any amount of mitigation of risk is a step in the right direction.

Nope. We choose on the fly what days we stay home

They do. Just virtually!

"Closing" campuses to prevent students from returning to college communities is a joke though. I bet 80 percent of those I've met with are back in town because they have leases here and want to be with their friends.

Similarly
Following a sharp spike in coronavirus cases across the country, State Department leadership sent out a notice to employees one week ago that “any non-mission critical events” be changed to “virtual events as opposed to in-person gatherings.”

That same week, U.S. event planners were told that the guidance did not apply to the upcoming functions they were working on: large indoor holiday parties hosted by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his wife, Susan, on the eighth floor of the State Department involving hundreds of guests, food and drinks.
