Spending one hour in a small restaurant room without windows sitting next to a family who just escaped from Wuhan on January 24th is the reason for the contagion, not any AC issue. Bad title. Astute but useless study by the CDC.
My two cents: change career and move to another place. I moved every four years, from countries to countries, continent to continent, never worked more than 3-4 years in one job. Career change can be from your current employer to another one or from your current favorite language to something different. It is a radical mindset change, being a slow moving individual. but the wealth of learning from different places and cultures is fantastic.
Young COBOL specialists are being fired here and there. They can't find a job. They can't "volunteer" either they need to get paid at the end of the day.
I see Fiserv firing all their 3-6 years COBOL juniors (last in, first out.) They retain only the most expensive 15-25 years pros.
