It was a long drawn out scenario with lots of nonsensical steps… long story short - the CDC would shut us down and we all work from home. But here's a new fun time waster:

Take the number of people on the call (67 today) and guess at average salaries (I went with 100k based on the people I knew on the call). Add 30% for benefits weighting (which is on the low end) and figure the cost of the call.

100,000 x 30% = 130,000

130,000 divided by 2000 = $65 per hr

$65 x 67 people = $4355 per hr

$4355 x 2.5 hours - $10,887 meeting cost

that's $72.5 per minute in people costs (not including other costs like conference calls, buildings, webex, etc)

so that's $11,000 to remind us to follow common sense
