As I type this, there appears to be murmurings of states starting to relax the "stay-at-home" orders. I have mixed feelings about this, but I'll keep those to myself. To those itching to jump into a mosh-pit, I'll simply say, "You first."
I'm staying home for a bit longer. Better safe than sick. For those of us who exist at home for work and for those of you who are going to be working from home for a bit longer (permanently?), I'd love to share a few tips on equipment.
