What will Murphy say?
I think he's waiting for the new case rate to continue to go down and worried that if he opens up more, the case rate will go up. I also think the real issue is we have no idea why it goes up or down. Below is from Johns Hopkins.

If he's being overly cautious, he also knows it's costing him big time.

It's already gone down. WAY down. And it's not costing him anything to keep things closed. The state, yes. The citizens, yes. But him? Nothing.

No. Why? Are there a lot of people in the office right now? Can she hole up in a conference room with some white board markers? That's what I used to do with my son.

there are normally around 115 people in the office and now there are about 30. she would want to walk around and say hi to people. im not sure why it came up but my wife asked me recently if i could take her because she asked if she could go. unfortunately, i dont think i can do it. she would have to wear a mask and also my best child entertainer is working from home these days. i just feel bad saying no to her. it will happen at some point.

one aspect that im uncertain is the opinion of others if i take her. she is amazing to have around and everyone would love to have her here but people may not think its the right thing to do with the rona around.
