I respect you Marcus, and you were respectful with your response, so I'm going to respectfully disagree with you.

I work in an industry where I manage a lot of young, attractive women. I've met with them one on one for years, and my girlfriends have never taken issue with it and I've run into zero obstacles because of it.

Record your meetings if it's really about covering your own ass. Not sure how that wouldn't fix the issue.

Conversely, I've never had a job that required after hours meetings, or meetings outside the workplace alone with only one other person, male or female. As far as in the work place, it has been a couple decades since I have had a meeting with a female without a third party present. Whether normal business, or disciplinary.

Your experience has been trouble free apparently. Not all have been that lucky. I know one male employee of years ago that suffered from an accusation stemming from a solo meeting that was totally and factually bogus. That created a lot of unwarranted hardship for him. There are justifiable reasons why a man may choose to avoid those meetings or dinners. There are justifiable reasons for men to think it no big deal. Neither would be wrong. I just merely took a swipe at you being snide about Pence's stance to avoid the situation.

I ain't mad about it.

Your friend should record his meetings.

Sorry if I chapped your hide, Friar Tuck-it-in.

Why on earth would I be chapped about that? I think pity and disappointment would be better descriptions. It's awkward to see a grown man reduced to middle school arguments and insults over a two-letter post that wasn't even directed at them. But by all means, you do you.

I'll lose as much sleep over your disappointment as you will over my diminished respect for you.

Sh*tposters get my sh*tposting. Welcome to the internet, preacher.

My tracking of actual daily new COVID-19 cases in U.S. and 5 day projections.
3/1 = 7
3/5 = 63
3/10 = 290
3/15 = 737
3/18 = 2848
3/19 = 4530 (almost double projection)

Transmission rate appears to be higher here than in other countries right now, honestly. Up until now, 100 people with coronavirus would give you 133 new infections. In America, that appears to be 144 new infections or a transmission rate of 1.44.

However, new testing coming online and a hot spot in NYC is probably responsible for this appearance, but that is something to keep an eye on. If the rate doesn't fall despite interventions, it might be logical to assume this virus has been here to some extent for a while longer than we previously understood.

My prediction ranges for new confirmed cases for the next 5 days are below. If we start to dip below these it will be good news. Frankly, we need to start hitting these ranges at least, and I believe some reversion to mean is likely in the next few days.

These projections are again higher than they were yesterday as they incorporate yet another very big daily number from 3/19. My model still sees a transmission rate bending downward, but more slowly after the last few days.

Predicted New Case Ranges Modeled by Daily Transmission Rate Variances

3/20 2870 - 3510
3/21 4100 - 5020
3/22 5820 - 7120
3/23 8200 - 10,200
3/24 11,440 - 13,990

Watching to see if the decrease in transmission from current efforts to distance show up. Once these projected ranges start to be way too high instead of way too low, as they have been the past three days, we will know the transmission curve is bending.

Stay safe out there.

No doubt. That was probably one of the situations that started getting us all "retrained." We had a "fishbowl" cubicle structure out in the plant where a lot of the engineers were. It had a couple small meeting rooms. 360 glass. Had all my meeting there, with a third party to boot. I even had a boos that went as far as not even accepting a trip out for lunch from vendors. He'd tell one of us to go. Nothing taken, nothing owed was his motto.

Government never steals stockpiles but during almost every famine, crisis or times of hardship known to man government leadership never went hungry. How's that?
