We just had our 10th person sent home for showing symptoms.
So...they thought it was worth risking lives eh?

This flies in the face of recent reporting.
COVID: Is takeout food safe to eat? Experts explain
COVID: Is takeout food safe to eat? Experts explainwww.8newsnow.com
Dr. Benjamin Chapman, a food safety specialist at North Carolina State University, says there’s no evidence that coronavirus is transmitted by food or food packaging even if coronavirus somehow makes its way into your meal.
And although the heat from cooking is more likely to kill off the coronavirus, Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia University, says the risk of contracting COVID-19 through a hot or a even cold meal is extremely low.
“in general, eating food is low risk and there has not been any evidence to show that coronavirus is transmitted by eating food,” said Dr. Rasmussen. “Coronaviruses in general are not stable at high temperatures, so it is highly likely that cooking food will inactivate the virus. cold foods we don’t know how long the virus remains infectious on cold foods, however for things like produce that you would presumably wash prior to eating that should rinse off any virus.”
She adds if the virus is ingested, our stomach would actually get rid of the virus
“When you eat any kind of food whether it be hot or cold that food is going to go straight down into your stomach where there is a high acidity, low PH environment that also will inactivate the virus,” she said.
They still do. Our local union board (President, Business Agent and me) had the company on a conference call this morning to get them to cancel their planned safety meetings because they're unnecessary gatherings.So...they thought it was worth risking lives eh?
A lot of the "lingers on surfaces!" stuff is based on studies that in no way mimic real life. Sure, if you have a pure and heavy viral load in a syringe and just squirt it all over a piece of steel, as if 100 sick people just came and hocked a COVID loogie all on the same square inch ... I guess you can detect some live viruses several days later.I get that this is the official line but it still makes no sense to me. If we're talking about the virus lingering on cardboard and plastic longer than other surfaces and you still being able to pick it up through surface contact, I just dont get how this can be a non issue like they're claiming.

Well, Virginia has a stay at home order until June 10.
curious to see how well people comply. no more hikes for me
There is no evidence showing that it can not spread.This flies in the face of recent reporting.

Not sure about bots, but propaganda, for sure.I'm seeing a huge amount of Twitter profiles that were starting in February and March posting on anything covid related with "China Lied" "China lied, people died", "blame China", "Chinese virus" and stuff similar. Isn't there a website that tracks bots?
They still do. Our local union board (President, Business Agent and me) had the company on a conference call this morning to get them to cancel their planned safety meetings because they're unnecessary gatherings.
The company did a meeting anyway and the subject was the changes that are being made to deal with COVID-19. One of the changes is to eliminate unnecessary gatherings.
I am scheduled to attend Thursday morning. ?
