Also curious about this. I don’t run a firm, but I do have to cleanup and maintain consultancy projects after they get dumped on me / “my team”. I’ve been trying to think of ways to prevent contracts with “certain” companies, but since I am one of few technical people interacting with these projects it is proving harder said than done. My complaints on quality of code, maintainability, et cetera are met with “they move faster”, “they have more expertise doing projects like this”, and “they help keep us lean”.

I do feel like my position in the company is mostly herding cats (read: consultancy projects), which is a bit unfortunate given it wasn’t really what I thought I was being hired to do.

You didn’t even read the article huh?

The first two paragraphs…

COVID-19 is becoming more like the flu and, as such, no longer requires its own virus-specific health rules, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday alongside the release of a unified “respiratory virus guide.”

In a lengthy background document, the agency laid out its rationale for consolidating COVID-19 guidance into general guidance for respiratory viruses—including influenza, RSV, adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, enteroviruses, and others, though specifically not measles. The agency also noted the guidance does not apply to health care settings and outbreak scenarios.
