How Corona Virus may Change the Tech World

Tech companies have traditionally been at the forefront of revolutionizing office space. Apple Park is designed to be seamless with nature. It's open, transparent. It brings the outside in. Open floor plans have become the norm in many industries after tech companies touted the advantage of this arrangement for collaboration and innovation. And perks like in-offices, childcare centers, and communal cafeterias have also gained traction, as companies compete to attract top talent. But coronavirus may make this type of work environment a thing of the past, at least for the near future, as companies try to balance communal work with safety. In an investigation recently published bySouth Korea's Centers for Disease Control, out of the 216 people who worked on the floor of a call center, 94 people tested positive for the virus.

The Coronavirus and Our Future

Alanna Shaikh:  I've been working in global health for about 20 years, and my specific technical specialty is in health systems and what happens when health systems experience severe shocks. I've also worked in global-health journalism. I've written about global health and biosecurity for newspapers and web outlets, and I published a book a few years back about the major global health threats facing us as a planet. I have supported and led epidemiology efforts that range from evaluatingEbola treatment centers to looking at the transmission of tuberculosis in health facilities and doing avian influenza preparedness. I have a master's degree in International Health. I'm not a physician. I'm not a nurse. My specialty isn't patient care or taking care of individual people.
