Fair enough. I was using a range in order to address other countries as well. Early on, before we had the vaccine and ways to help reduce mortality, the WHO said: > Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By compariso

Same situation as you here. We have our standup mid-afternoon to make sure everyone can attend. I'd say we're 4s more than 3s. I would say that an agreed upon, regular meeting doesn't dictate your set hours--just a single obl
