BUSINESS NEWS YOU CAN USE
Fast Company
Fast Company inspires a new breed of innovative and creative thought leaders who are actively inventing the future of business.
Since the novel coronavirus forced the nation to self-isolate, the celebrity shoutout service Cameo has seen a massive surge in activity.
The COVID-19 pandemic has crippled industries from tourism to theme parks to movie theaters, as widespread self-isolating mandates have ground to a halt pretty much anything that has to do with groups of people in one space.
Bag bans that were supposed to go into effect have been halted in several states as the plastic industry plays up fears of infection from reusable bags (but doesn’t mention anything about infection from plastic ones).
As the groundswell against single-use plastic has grown, a recent study about the new coronavirus could lend more ammunition: The virus, SARS-CoV-2, can live on plastic for two to three days, versus 24 hours on cardboard. (Another study that looked at related viruses, SARS and MERS, found that some lived on plastic as long as nine days.) But the plastic industry is also using the coronavirus crisis for the opposite reason, to argue that public health requires us to overturn bans on single-use plastic bags at stores.
When it comes to fighting COVID-19, enabling staffers to work from home is just the start.
Employers should be doing more to protect their workers’ well-being as the COVID-19 outbreak continues.
Work doesn’t happen at the same time for everyone. Here are some tips to talk to each other better.
One remote work best practice that we live by at Buffer is asynchronous communication. This concept simply means that work doesn’t happen at the same time for everyone.
Everyone is watching ‘Tiger King’ on Netflix, and pretty soon everyone may also be wearing t-shirts with these ridiculously quotable lines from the show.
“I can almost promise you some of you will be urinated on,” says Joe Exotic, the feline-fanatical focal point of Netflix’s Tiger King.
March Sadness now has a number.
Turns out March Sadness has a price tag: $375 million. That’s how much it cost the National Collegiate Athletic Association to cancel March Madness this year.
The stress and confinement of being in a mini-submarine are similar to those induced by the coronavirus pandemic. A neuroscientist and a Navy SEAL explain the simple principles that can help you combat the anxiety of uncertainty and thrive.
Crammed into the back of a mini-submarine with three other large SEALs, weapons, radios, and packs, you have little space to move, much less find comfort. It’s cold, wet, dark, and cramped. You’re never certain how long the trip will take. After an hour or so, seasickness sets in, and the only place to release is in the very mask you breathe from.
3D printing is having a moment as a vital source of emergency medical supply creation.
When Madiha Choksi, a research and learning technologies librarian at Columbia University, received a call for help from a doctor last week, she didn’t hesitate. Part of her job entails managing the school library’s 3D printing program, so she often gets requests from researchers and faculty members to print out different prototypes. On March 19, Peirre Elias, a Columbia University cardiology fellow, had an urgent ask: With the severe absence of PPE at hospitals, would she be able to 3D-print face shields?
More than one in four jobs in these three states are at risk of disappearing because they are in vulnerable industries.
While our health is at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, the repercussions on the economy are certain to affect almost everyone’s livelihood as the disease decimates businesses globally. Here in the U.S., economists and policymakers are increasingly anticipating a recession. Goldman Sachs recently estimated that the U.S. GDP will wither about 24% between April and June 2020.
The airline industry, which received $5 billion in taxpayer funds and another $10 billion in loan guarantees after 9/11, is the likely recipient of $50 billion in taxpayer money and guarantees under a sweeping $2 trillion stimulus bill.
This story was produced by MapLight, a nonprofit organization that reveals the influence of money in politics.
Though many core elements within the bill have been praised, others have been roundly criticized. Here are the lowlights.
Even amid the urgency of the coronavirus pandemic, the massive $2 trillion stimulus plan voted on by the House this afternoon saw its share of partisan wrangling (because . . . Washington). But more infuriating was the long list of special interests lobbying for big chunks of money or other benefits, despite the fact that many of these interests clearly don’t have the most compelling need.
The pandemic’s growth has been exponential these last three weeks, as visualized by the Economist Group’s Intelligence Unit.
The Economist Group’s Intelligence Unit published a slick graphic showing how confirmed cases of COVID-19 have stacked up by country over time:
U.S. job losses are so staggering that ‘The New York Times’ needed more space to show just how bad things are.
There are a few front pages of a newspaper that are so striking, they become iconic: The stock market crash on Black Tuesday in 1929; the incorrect Chicago Tribune headline “Dewey beats Truman.” We can now add today’s New York Times to that list. It features a chart of job losses that are so staggering, it spans the entire front page.
Want to add some guilt-free screen time to your days? Try a documentary that everyone will enjoy.
We’re all burning through titles on our streaming platforms, and for good reason. There’s never been a better time to settle in and watch all the series and movies that have been lingering on our lists. But when you have kids under the age of 16, nightmare-inducing true crime series and the dark and ridiculous (and yes, addictive) titles that are currently dropping—we’re looking at you, Tiger King—probably aren’t what you’re looking for. That’s why we rounded up the 25 best family-friendly documentary titles currently available on HBO, Netflix, and Amazon Prime.
Being a shut-in is an evolutionarily valuable trait, especially right now.
Loners are not dysfunctional failures of the herd. They save the herd. They are herd heroes.
CURA, an open-source design, hopes to expand emergency facilities for hospitals treating coronavirus patients.
COVID-19’s rapid spread has strained hospital resources across the globe. Personal protective equipment isn’t being manufactured quickly enough to keep up with demand, and emergency wings are being forced to prioritize high-risk patients while sending milder cases home. While some hospitals are erecting temporary tents to receive more patients, coronavirus is easily transmitted, which means they don’t just need more space but more areas designed for complete isolation.
A top leadership coach reveals how you can get the most out of your network.
“Building relationships is not just a critical career skill but a critical life skill,” says Rebecca Zucker, Stanford Graduate School of Business alumna and partner at leadership development consultancy Next Step Partners.
The novel coronavirus claims the life of a vocal, progressive leader in the architecture community.
Architect, urban planner, author, and critic Michael Sorkin died this week from complications related to COVID-19. The news was first reported by architect Warren James and Archinect. Fast Company has since confirmed his death with Sorkin’s nonprofit Terreform. He was 71.
Throughout history, fashion has been used as a weapon against disease—and unwanted attention.
As the world grapples with the coronavirus outbreak, “social distancing” has become a buzzword of these strange times.
From organizing digital photos to repurposing old tech, here’s some ideas on how to use your free time during the coronavirus lockdown.
If you’re heeding the advice of public health officials and staying home to slow the spread of coronavirus, you might have a lot more idle time than you did a few weeks ago. But that doesn’t mean you have to spend it all binge-watching Netflix or playing Fortnite.
