Over the past days I have been really focused with my tasks at work and I have honestly have close to zero time to watch the news and completely understand this whole Covid-19 pandemic. I only have the bare minimum knowledge about it, therefore I feel uneducated and unqualified to speak about it.

Things are happening a bit to fast and as you can imagine, I have zero connections with anything regarding the management of this crisis. Things seem to be taking a turn towards a very serious scenario and all I can say is that in these situations, speaking from your heart or with very little expertise is not recommended. I have read and heard mixed opinions regarding the use of masks, gloves and cleaning your clothes and shoes, I feel I have no context to follow.

What I plan to do over the next days is devote a bit of time to get myself educated on the subject, as it seems this is going to be a long term issue. I advise you should do the same.

Stay tuned.

A few days after my previous update, we received word from work that we are allowed to work from home, which was kind of expected considering most of our stakeholders either already had gone into that mode or where about to do so.

This is going to be challenging as managing a portfolio of over 50 projects remotely with no face time with both your coworkers and clients, is something we at the office have never done before. I believe that with the current advancements in technology, we have plenty of resources to make everything work out. However I will definitely have to step up my game in terms of productivity and efficiency in order to prove that it is possible and that me and my team can bring successful results.

Stay tuned.

Today I went into the city for work as usual and it was quite breathtaking to see the streets of Manhattan almost empty.

It seems like Covid-19 has arrived and we may have major stay at home policies implemented in the upcoming hours. I have yet to digest the situation as I have honestly not been following its development.

Stay tuned.
