It has been my experience, having worked for this company for a number of years, that they are in the government's pocket. They follow the party line
and do what the government tells them. We have a lobby in DC. We actively work with Congress to try and influence the future of health care. My
company stands to make a lot of money if this thing takes off.
Most travel has been restricted. Each site has contingency plans on what to do if someone who appears to be ill comes into the office. Strangely
enough, we don't have nearly the plans on what to do when/if the expected 30-40% of the population gets sick and stays home.
Culture wise - we have people come in every year for Flu/ Pneumonia vaccines. They're not mandatory, but it is expected that you get at least the flu
vaccine. When I stopped getting it a few years ago, it caused a ruckus that is a post of its own. I'm not allowed to even mention the natural ways of
staying healthy, as it is expected that any and all ailments are to be treated with the drugs my company so helpfully provided.
Mercifully, I don't have any kids at the moment to be worried about. If I did, they would be pulled from school for as long as it takes.
Meh. I don't like any of this AT ALL.
