The outbreak will likely continue for months, so mandatory WFH now would implicitly be a vote for shutting down the office for months. Are you saying the weight of this consideration pales next to the risk of a mean Recode post for Bay Area execs?

1) WFH starting today helps break exponential compounding in Bay Area. 2) Not saying it’s right; I personally wouldn’t care about the mocking/derision if I was an exec at a company right now. Just making an observation based on conversations over the last 3-4 days.

You tweeted at me. I answered in good faith. You ignored my point about WFH starting today helping stop the exponential compounding of the virus in the Bay Area. You replied with a joke.

I attempted humor, but I'm also being sincere in the point I'm making: if people you're talking to are weighing social media shame over health and business considerations, that's messed up, and they need to stop being snowflakes.

How about the good folks in your line of work take some goddamn responsibility for the way you shape the options and incentives of the people you harass for a paycheck? Christ al-fucking-mighty.

Like, literally don't pile on people taking precautions in the interest of public health for a shot at more eyeballs on your byline. This not hard.

My apologies, but is it possible you’ve accidentally replied to the wrong Twitter thread?

No. Would you like a more detailed explanation of why you're being not only a tool, but an utterly self-aware bully?

Always! (BTW, going offline for a bit, but looking forward.)

If you mock someone for thinking you're powerful enough to destroy them if they take visible precautions to protect the public in a manner that you believe you can profit from mocking, you're the bully further kicking the victim for flinching. This is extremely straight-forward.

Obviously, I think it's *vital* that the victim in this case not flinch. I don't want people to die. But for fucksake, writers have got to stop profiting from cutting people down for doing the right thing. It's insanity.

Let me know if I've left some ambiguity here, because I'd really, really like everyone to start behaving like we're at the beginning of a very dangerous series of events that is going to cause great harm to some of the most vulnerable people around us.
