Is Anyone Else Having Difficulty Concentrating at Work?

[Uptosnuff]

This afternoon, all my co-workers and I did it seemed like was talk about the corona virus pandemic and its various effects on people and things. Every hour it seemed like something new was canceled, meetings, schools, you name it. We talked about the stock market, about what we stocked up on at home, surviving a quarantine at home for weeks. Then we would get another email about more cases popping up all over the country.

I am finding it really difficult to concentrate on anything work related. I dont think even the flooding of 2011 and 2019 were li. At least with the floods, you could see what the problem was. This is so much more nebulous.

I have stopped listening to the radio and watching the news on the TV; the media does help the situation!

I'm not having trouble but of course people are going to talk about this. It's unchartered territory for us all, so I listen. In a few days or weeks it will get even worse and I'm planning for that now. In case we're not allowed out or something like that. I hope it doesn't happen, but it could.
