That would be idiotic - but I’m sure it might happen. It would be far more sensible to just go ahead and fire the person. Inviting them back to potentially infect your workplace is moronic.

Let's see how Waffle House handles it. I think they have some sort of federal disaster protection when it comes to requiring employees to work under certain conditions. I know FEMA using waffle house to index the severity of disasters. lol

There's tons of stuff still up here. Masks at most stores - grabbed two packs of 10 at Lowes and stores around here have dozens more. Lower grade masks, too. Water and canned goods and everything.

Went to Walmart and got a couple hundred bucks in canned goods of different varieties and couple cases of water and rice and beans - canned and dry. We have a pantry with a lot of boxed food and canned goods already. We have an upright freezer totally full of meats that have been vaccuum packed.

Also got a few boxes of children's Advil and Tylenol. We go through those like crazy anyway. Adult pills too.

Next time we hit the store up here for weekend shopping, we'll get some more canned goods and a couple more cases of water. Each time we go to the store, just get a bit more.

Bleach and lysol wipes and lysol washing sanitizer.

We're pretty good about practicing hygiene of hand washing here and using wipes and bleach for door handles and such. Keeping the kids fingers out of their noses seems to be our biggest battle.

If yall see anything missing off my list, let me know.

For anyone still looking for a mask, I found https://www.rockler.com/gvs-elipse-p100-half-mask-respirators.

These should be good to stop 99.97% of particulates and have a decent life expectancy for use. Most of all, they are available and not overly expensive compared to the gouging that seems to be going on. Might not be for everyone, but I've been planning to start some woodworking and these are good for that as well so ran with it.

I'm not entirely clear on the life expectancy of the filters though. I read somewhere they are good for up to 30 days, but couldn't find anything specific to these.

Made in China?

If the company wants a bunch of sick people working for them, go ahead. When an employee catches it and dies, then watch how fast a wrongful death and civil suit gets thrown at them.

It would be monumentally stupid for a company to give them that choice.

So, you're saying business as usual?"
 
I just watched the press brief w POTUS.

He has about close to no understanding. Spoke abt China numbers coming down, said of the 15 cases 10 are re overinf and we will take them off soon leaving us with only 5 then 2 or 3 more and we will be down to just 1 who is pretty ill (however in beginning said that one was in hospital but doing well)

Its a shirt show.

They did March out several key health ppl and created a task force. He said done weeks ago but clear it was done just today due to the lack of operational info given.

Which is why "self quarantine" in the US won't be a thing.
If we get to where that needs to happen, bend over and kiss your arse goodbye.
How many American families are one paycheck from crisis and two away from the street?
 
Stock market tumbled mainly because Bernie Sanders won Nevada- Trump
