Absolutely....we are all told to avoid each other and they are surrounded by contagious people and being asked to reuse masks or bandannas if they don't have masks.

Gonna be wild to see where I can and can't go... and the number of closed businesses. Terrible to say, but we had some patio mats delivered yesterday in a big box by the brown truck. Took the mats out of the box, discarded the box and then sanitized my hands. Did the same thing every time I pull out my debit card or use a gas pump. Fucked up times. Stay safe out there. They expect me at the office too with my admin, figure we're low risk in a 2 person office. I forwarded the phone to my cell yesterday afternoon around 2, and have remote access on my laptop. I'd just as soon conduct business from the couch. Kind of pissed that our sleds are still upta camp and snow is forecast early in the week.

Woodtick Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Quite a few local distillery’s have started making hand sanitizer. They are delivering it to fire and police departments. Lots of companies are switching production to make products that are needed. A drop off point was set up in Chicago for masks that contractors have and aren’t being used because of jobs being shut down. People and companies are coming together and helping the situation. To bad the media is focused on Wallmart running out of tp? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're an essential service under EO 8 that came down, infrastructure construction............Everyone is nervous, our PPE is construction site environmental. We're reaching out to our suppliers to look for disruptions in material, most of our stuff we use is made in the USA so China shouldn't have a huge impact on us.
