United Nations - - All United Nations staff at its headquarters in New York were told Friday to work from home for at least three weeks due to the coronavirus outbreak unless it was essential for them to be present.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the plan was "to reduce our physical presence at United Nations Headquarters, while continuing to deliver on our mandates."
"Your health and well-being remain my greatest concern. Be safe, be smart, be kind," he said in a separate message to staff Thursday. About 3,000 UN employees are based in New York.
A Philippine diplomat this week tested positive for the new coronavirus in the first recorded case at UN headquarters.

You’re all non-essential.
Why don’t you go work in the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll be safe there.
That would be all of them.
Are we living that Hitch Hikers’ Guide To The Galaxy bit about telephone sanitizers?
FINALLY! Something good comes out of the Coronavirus situation. That and Pearl Jam postponing its tour.
Yeah lol they need to be more specific than that. :)
Send them all back to their shithole countries.
They need to go to their home country’s and work.
What could they possibly do? (Write checks to "Palestinians"?)

Yup. May as well shut off the utilities and save them for someone that we value. Or, since there is space available, use it to house the couple dozen homeless in and around nyc. Of course that would increase the value of the place.
Quick! Change the locks.
More like...quick, raze the buildings!
You hear that, you suckers? You can ALL go home.
So everyone then.
Ha ha ha ha. UN "workers". Funniest thing evah'...
Sadly, the worse than useless are still required to show up...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.
close the UnitedNazis down permanently
or at least kick the basturds out of America!
The best solution for this would be to ask both China and Russia to build a better UN facility then in turn each could play host to them for 25 or 50 years.
Since the ignorant and violent nepotism monkeys that are most of the delegates behave like animals behaving badly, the Chinese, who are actually quite prudish, would be morally horrified by them.
