Mail

• Nothing Pressing

Old Business

• COVID Check-in
  • Arguments:
    • In favor of closing the space:
      • we’re not a necessary service to keep running
      • We contribute to the potential spread of disease when the healthcare system is highly taxed
      • Exponential growth of disease rewards early action
    • Against closing the space:
      • Contractors using the space use it for their livelihood
      • Its against what PS1 is all about
      • Attrition will increase
      • The board doesn’t have the authority
      • Why would you take away the one good thing in my life
        • My wife left me and how dare you. Now what am I supposed to do, go to my sad sad apartment alone. She took the dog
