Many parts of the US are starting to significantly relax public health restrictions related to the virus. To judge from the infection rate data one finds batted about the web some of them are being more responsible than others.
My particular corner of the world is in a weird place. The state has been largely successful in slowing the spread of the virus. Excepting one locality there haven't been any high-intensity outbreaks and the hospitals have not been overwhelmed.
Yeah! Go us! Whoo! Hoo!
But with something as contagious as this a large fraction of the population is going to get it eventually, so slowing the spread means it hangs around longer. Our hospitalization rate is actually still rising, and we're not ready for large scale relaxation of the restrictions. The Governor's existing order has been tweaked and extended.
My employer has established rules for returning work at the office (though they would be physically challenging at the actual facilities we have in this state) but we are allowed and encouraged to continue with full time telework.
