millions of test kits will be produced this week.

the problem is the unknown, scientist say the death rate or RO for corona is higher than flu, so is this going to be seasonal virus that reappears every year like the flu or in addition to the flu.

Out of the three field techs who called out today only one was for a fever ~ Being the company's pseudo safety officer can suck it from behind. The union has been useless as always. It's our shop steward so now he gets to figure out what needs to be done vs me. He's the official safety officer - I'm just the guy behind the curtain doing the paperwork and signing off on some stuff.

I would just hope citizens and the gubment learn from their mistakes moving forward. The images of the lines I saw this weekend and last week were disturbing. I always figured most were unprepared - after all the average fam has 8k in credit card debt and living week to week so how could they afford prep?...(less i phones and $200 sneakers?)...but the lines were an eye opener for me. I need to focus more on logistics and family than myself for sure. None of my family took any of this serious yet alone have any sort of supplies and 50% of them are older w/bad preexisting conditions.

Went to sams club yesterday. Almost completely sold out of toliet paper and bottled water. Nearest case of covid19 is 250 miles away.

Did you go to stock up or what? Are you out of TP of Bottle water?

I was indeed out of tp, sams club is the usual gettin spot. Water bottles and tp on same isle. They had like 10 packs of tp left over. Didn’t stock up, got my normal amount.

We were almost out last week.. told the wife she better find some of I'm using the drapes. She found some.. I also went to HEB and bought a 24 pack we normally get. So we are good.

My neighbors have been gone for about a week now, I talked with their friend staying at their house taking care of dogs and horses etc, anyways she said they were on a cruise, the Panama Canal cruise, which is one of the longer cruises, sucks to be them, not sure if that cruise ship has been hit with the virus.

People keep buying toilet paper but not food. How are you going to poop if you don't eat???

That's one end of the spectrum. The other end is the 30 year old who has no per-existing conditions, never smoked in his life, and is not doing good.

After spending the past couple days in the hospital and talking to some pro's - they are fearful of the next few weeks if everyone keeps putting this off as "no problem" and keeps up their normal routines.

I'll always lean towards being proactive vs reactive.

It’s going to spread like wildfires in the U.S., China and other countries actually locked down parts of the country, here lol, nope, notta, because Americans like their freedoms, it would not surprise me one bit, that we have a greater number of deaths and cases, let’s hope the warmer temperatures help snuff this crap out.

J/k... But Trump needs to make sure the outbreaks stay within the metropolitan high democratic demographic areas to knock off voters.

We had a "safety" meeting yesterday and had to listen to a bunch of bs passed down from FTA, TX-Dot etc etc. Pretty much saying it's less harmful then the Flu, just easier to catch and it's really only effecting mud 50 + people with preexisting conditions and that by this time next year we will all have had it lol

If you answer yes to any of the below questions - you can't get onto my one job site. Even if you answer yes, there is to be no contact between subs and employees so all subs must work after hours or before.

Nice to see some people actually concerned with not having the market crash any more and not spreading this bug. This client is a player in the markets.

Most of the questions are BS, but it's better than anything Ive seen to date from anyone else (Ive gotten nothing from any other jobsites lol)
