More remote working = less travel = less crowding in the busses & trains = less people in the same place = less diseases spread

Did anyone think about the way in which the flu/cold season is taking speed? Yes one could say that the passing between the seasons is weakening our immune system and so, we are becoming susceptible to common diseases. Can we stop for a moment and think about the meaning of quarantine from the perspective of remote working as a norm not as an exception?

Regarding the waste of energy and the contradiction between the centralised offices and the common-sense health considerations, below are two aspects:

·         natural light

·         fresh air

One thing that hit me today was the amount of “window space” for each employee working on a centralised office. This mean that in a sea of working stations (desktops = furniture) only a few benefit of the sun while the rest remain dependant to the artificial light.

As this isn’t enough another aspect of big offices is the centralised climatization that is in opposition with the so called obsolete “open a window for fresh air”. So the “fresh air” is served, through tubes “in the ceiling”, accompanied by God knows what other “ad-dons”.

We know that most of the so-called modern buildings, there is no option to open windows. When you have a big room – open office style, when you have the option to open a window, this is more likely to cause a “small tornadoes”.
