It will be a major dilemma for many people for sure.
The employers will decide- I’m on two days - another crew diff days - that way we not all on each other’s face.

I have a hard time believing any thinking human could be so uncaring for his fellow Americans. But, perhaps you think liberals deserve it.

So sad.
Believe it!

Sadly, he's just one of many.

This is why testing is so important and is also one of the main reasons Trump has failed the American people. We are months behind where we should be and unfortunately many of our fellow citizens will pay for Trumps incompetence with their lives.

Trump should be deeply ashamed.

He’s not setting a good example by refusing to be tested himself even though he has been exposed. He’s not isolating himself either. He really has handled this very poorly on multiple levels.

I shut down my office yesterday and set everyone up to work from home. We're well stocked enough at our house to ride this out for as long as it takes.

We're self-quarantining (effectively) so that we don't bring it into the house. My MIL lives with us, and my own mother will likely be joining the party this weekend. Trying to keep the people we love safe. That's the ONLY thing on my mind when it comes to this thing.

Do you wash your hands after using the bathroom or is that also “bondage”?

The pickle tosser at McD’s may not have the luxury of choosing. (And no, $15 an hour is not the solution, nor the topic of this thread.)

Hmmm... you’re resisting and some guys pay extra for that.

Yes and yes. It is complicated, nothing is easy. And it is not even what I would call bad yet.
