How has the Coronavirus impacted you directly, to this point?

We got a first report of a positive Covid-19 test at our office this week. They closed the building for half a day as if thats long enough to deep clean the building. At least they have extended our work from home until June 1. I'm not looking forward to going back to the office when half of my coworkers dont know how to social distance. To top it off they already making plans to have work related events.
 
Social-distancing arrests in NYC: 35 are black, four Hispanic, one white.
Tensions are flaring in black and Hispanic neighborhoods over police officers’ enforcement of social-distancing rules, leading some prominent elected officials to charge that the New York Police Department is engaging in a racist double standard as it struggles to shift to a public health role in the coronavirus crisis.
The arrests of black and Hispanic residents, with several of the actions filmed and posted online, occurred on the same balmy days that other photographs circulated showing police officers handing out masks to mostly white visitors at parks in Lower Manhattan, Williamsburg and Long Island City. Video captured crowds of sunbathers, many without masks, sitting close together at a park on a Manhattan pier, uninterrupted by the police.
On Thursday night, the Brooklyn district attorney’s office became the first prosecutor’s office in the city to release statistics on social-distancing enforcement. In the borough, the police arrested 40 people for social-distancing violations from March 17 through May 4, the district attorney’s office said.
Of those arrested, 35 people were black, four were Hispanic and one was white.
More than a third of the arrests were made in the predominantly black neighborhood of Brownsville. No arrests were made in the largely white Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope.
 
I just pulled my kid out of all camps for the summer. Too much risk. They all are operating still and say they have measures in place like social distancing, smaller groups, fewer activities, etc. That ain’t enough for me; seeing how some of these kids parents are moving in public; I highly doubt they’ve been following any orders since quarantine started so their kids damn sure ain’t about to listen. I can’t, in good conscience, send my kid into that situation so they can get sick, or worse.

Plus, the whole point of camps are to learn stuff, play, have fun, kid it with friends and make new ones....what they are offering as a means of keeping the revenue is babysitting. I’d be miserable as a kid under the guidelines as proposed.

I’ve got a few weeks to come up with a plan B; shit sucks though; on my end up using most of my accrued vacation time and try to finesse if you work from home days in between since my office is re-opening mid June.
 
Can anyone make suggestions for a good office chair?
I grabbed one of these from Costco for $100 a few weeks ago and it’s been good:

Id avoid AmazonBasics chairs at all cost; I had one that I paid about $60 for a few years back and it’s the most uncomfortable POS I’ve ever sat in.
