Bingo. This is why I try to not engage individuals who are very clearly misinformed. This very topic of transmission was discussed and clarified multiple times in the early stages of this thread. Different modes of transmission require different methods of handling and PPE. If anyone is still unclear on this, I would be happy to explain again.
As for that workplace scenario, it sounds like the management group has a plan but has not been transparent enough about it. Yes, we have shared working spaces around the hospital and no, it isn't a problem. Why? Because it's very simple for us (as well as housekeeping) to disinfect these areas. My guess is that management wants to rotate people in and out of the office in order to reduce the number of workers and abide by social distancing guidelines. Removal of personal items from work stations means it's easier to disinfect. Sharing of working space means there's less stations to clean. It also makes it easier to track for cleaning schedules on the housekeeping end of things.
As someone already pointed out, it's best to not look at things in a cynical manner right off the bat. It's alright to question if something seems odd but try to understand and communicate rather than fly off the handle only to make yourself look ridiculous later when you're wrong.
