But think of the opportunity cost! If you're under 40 and you spread the virus to your over 50 boss she has at least an order of magnitude more chance of dying than you. You could then move up the corporate ladder with her departure.

The lack of cultists is the only reason why I'm even reading these articles. Now if only they could stabilize the price so you can pay for things instead of gamble on it.

Believing what you see on the news about covid is like believing the USSR's growth numbers. It's the terminally online and politicians who push the narrative, the rest don't care, including the police. In Australia it's

Modafinil in the mid 00s university. Pretty useless as a study drug, great for a party drug and sex enhancer. You can easily stay up for a week on it. A lot like meth in that way.

They should do a follow up study on how many people will die from Covid by working in the office. I rather wonder how preventable deaths impact innovation in teams. From Israel we can see that that death rate per million with 90%+ of adults

I find that writing and mathematics are just a poor way of trying to structure a context free domain specific language for the problem. Writing is bad because it needs to fit in a human head and ultimately needs to be spoken by a human mout
