> I mean, what are you going to do in a lockdown?

Anything but trying to be social on a medium designed for speaking one at a time.

Whatever your opinion of restrictions in a given location, I'm pretty sure the right answer isn't to put pressure on people in a job context to ignore restrictions/recommendations/what makes them feel personally comfortable in their own situation to get together with coworkers in person.

Sure, I didn't mean to suggest it's people's duty to capitalism to gather with coworkers if they don't want to.

But in general, if the question is, "how do we accommodate <unsuccessful interdictive intervention whose collateral damage is visited with horrific severity on the most vulnerable in society>", I think that answer is: you don't. You organize and overcome it and speak truth to power.
