Poll of the Day > What's your employer, City, Town. State doing

(+) Yeah! (+)

To combat people coming into contact with one another in large gatherings during this COVID-19 scare? My employer is given us 2 weeks off with pay and they've set up free testing for the virus.

My wife outlawed all boners until her anxiety subsides

---

double lined trash bags have to cover all gloryholes in the region

---

Everything is shut down.

---

Overreacting.

This country is shooting itself in the foot. Man-made disaster.

Fast food places dont allow people in the dining rooms apparently. Employeer is letting people work from home if they wish.

when don't have to come in at all this month if we don't want to. if quarantined we get at least two weeks pay

Master the backrub, this bypasses all boner blockages fairly quickly.

Many non essential employees of New York state were told to stay at home with pay till March 31st this afternoon.

This town has banned crime for the next two weeks.

I'm sure it was meant as a joke.

Employer has cancelled most trips to customers and suppliers, and our customers have cancelled their visits to us.

We usually shutdown the first week of July, would not be surprised if that was moved up and extended and then we'd work during July.

Primaries were just cancelled
was looking forward to bernie winning since no old people would go

So far my state doesn't have any confirmed cases but that is apparently because no one was tested until recently. 80 negative tests 4 still pending.

Anyways just got 2 robo calls and an email from my employer telling me we are an "essential" business and have been requested to maintain regular business.

Asking people to stay in. Gatherings cancelled, things closing, Tim Hortons takeout only (lol).

For some crazy reason they moved my sister sister in law from their office to the hospital. She makes calls for appointments etc. Im guessing she will run out of work but why they moved them to the hospital is beyond me. Wont be seeing them for awhile I guess! Cant risk my wife getting sick, she has bad lungs already.

Employer - nothing, business as usual

City - canceled all events with 50 or more people, and a few businesses have closed

State - not much. The governor called a state of emergency, but then tweeted a pic of his family eating out at a restaurant. (Several people expressed approval and called those concerned about the virus "snowflakes." I don't even know what that's supposed to mean in this context.)

---

Nothing work-wise yet. But a couple groups I belong to have cancelled all get-togethers for the near future.

Dine-in restaurants closed down yesterday for I think a couple weeks. Schools shut down yesterday for a couple weeks.

And the Hardee's went into lockdown yesterday afternoon exactly as I was waiting for my order to be filled - I got my order but the lady that'd come in 2 min after me had to leave and go through the drive-thru.

So yeah; stuff's starting to happen. There are 3 diagnosed cases of coronavirus in the area, all made within the last week. Who knows what'll be the state of things in another week.

---

Employer - Business as usual, though customers have to maintain a 6 foot distance from the next customer in line.

City - Certain entertainment venues (Prime Osborn Convention Center, TIAA Bank Field, cinemas) have been shut down and events canceled, restaurants are drive-thru and/or pick up from online orders only, most stores are running on different operating hours. Beaches have been closed as well.

State - Apart from some cases in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area, not much.

Update:
We've shut down for next week ( currently scheduled to resume operation on the 30th) due to our customers delaying orders due to their shutdown.

We're being paid 60% of our base , and management will make decisions on a weekly basis.

Work - Removed 1/2 the chairs from break rooms and divided employees into 3 groups with different schedules, increased cleaning and encourages social distancing

My town's doing the same as others in California, only places you'll find open are groceries stores, Walmart, Target etc and fast food places (drive through only)

Our state's on lock down which, so far, hasnt changed anyone's daily habits. People are still going to the parks, taking their kids and/or pets for walks, gardening, shopping..

That sounds like my base. I was leaving the other day and noticed that things seemed the same. I saw these two people walking that I saw everyday. They havent stopped talking them walks. I saw a mother with two children learning how to ride bikes. And people just out doing what they normally did. If you didnt know any better, you would think nothing was wrong...

Employer: split up drive crews into crews of 3-4 people max (have to use two or three vehicles) and gave us a box of plastic gloves to use when we handle cars (work as lead for a rental car company).

Local: Nothing so far, even though the city nearest to me (Tampa, Florida) has announced that they're considering closing up tomorrow, even if the state decides that they won't.

State: Closed the beaches, amusement parks, public parks, etc. but still haven't shut the state down entirely. Restaurants take out and delivery only; special hours for those 60 and over on certain days for groceries, etc.
