In these unprecedented times we can rest assured knowing our elected representatives are focused on what really matters—putting federal worker butts in seats. We've been told "return to office" makes us more productive (it doesn't), in-person collaboration is necessary (on video calls but this time with more background noise), and—most honestly—because we need to protect commercial real estate values.

Now we've been welcomed back to the privilege of a commute to find there's something in the water—legionella. Here's a running list of where it's been found so far.
