My stepfather is the CEO of a very traditional old-school 100 person company.

2 weeks ago he did not believe in remote and had not heard of:

Zoom

Slack

Notion

Airtable

Today he declared team productivity has skyrocketed and remote is the future.

Changing tides! 💥

After seeing the thread from the Slack CEO I think I'm going to start a diary. So much is happening, so quickly, and it's overwhelming my working memory, but we're living history in real time and anything not committed to paper or electronic media (and much that is) will be lost.

Hand sanitizer and @DettolNigeria soap were donated to the community of Abule in Lagos State. I encouraged the people about washing their hands and how to use the sanitizer.

We are now a monolith. We started with a medical ICU, surgical ICU, cardiac ICU, neurosurgical ICU, and a cardiothoracic ICU, plus a dozen mixed specialty floors. Every floor and unit is becoming a COVID unit. There is no more specialization — we’re all treating one thing.
