Getting used to working from home

Here's the latest news: Trump, Congressional leaders say stimulus deal is close Nigeria has chloroquine poisonings after Trump praises drug FDA approves first bedside Covid-19 test Our take on the latest developments Working from home, we're finding out, isn't always so easy. There's the back-torquing posture of using a laptop while sitting in a stiff dining room chair, the shrieking kids in the background of a video chat, the daily decision about whether to get out of your pajamas. Our Bloomberg News reporters are just like many of you—or at this point, most of you, given the widespread lockdowns in New York, California and elsewhere. We're hibernating at home, trying to take care of our bodies and our minds, our families and our communities, while also reporting on the largest global health crisis of our lifetime. We know it can be challenging—and at times painful without the most comfortable equipment. It can feel incredibly lonely. One of our reporters, John Tozzi, set up virtual coffee breaks so our team can stay connected. We've also created a Slack channel to share recipes and updates on what we're cooking, along with another dedicated to giving our brains a break with jokes, book and music recommendations, and other distractions. These small steps can go a long way. Somehow being stuck at home has made us closer in a way. From exchanging personal stories to asking more often how people are, it's been humbling and humanizing, watching us come together while being physically apart.
