Quote from: banditpony on March 18, 2020, 02:25:53 PMAlso Ohio update:All businesses are asked to scan temperatures of their employees. If they do not scan, then "We're taking this one step at a time. If we find that we can't get employers to take temperatures, we'll have to go to the next stage and close everything down unless it's essential."I feel like this isn't an accurate way to check for people who are sick. My temperature raises a bit when I'm on my period. It doesn't mean that I'm sick or contagious with anything. It's just how my body reacts to that time of the month.

Nobody needs a castle built of toilet paper and pasta. They are forcing others to hoard, too. If I see something is in short supply I am inclined to get it for myself as soon as it's available again.

Quote from: Ponyfan on March 18, 2020, 01:45:06 PMMy workplace just issued a mandatory travel report for all employees. Based on our answers Health Services will decide if we will still be employees for the foreseeable future or if they will let us go until the next employment period begins. I live in an “at will” state where employers can let employees go for any reason. I know they are doing this to make sure the virus doesn’t spread. PonyfanThat seems really unfair and I think that most places have lost track of the spread of infection by now, so sacking people who have traveled won't make any difference.

The thing that irks me the most are the greedy people. Several places like a gas station chain are offering free coffee for people working in the health care as a thank you, and people are nagging that they don't get one as well, because they are bus drivers, delivery trucks and personal assistants.. It just baffles me. People in healtchare rarely get the appreciation they deserve and when they get this small token the jealousy of others destroys it
I'm also worried about the local businesses. They say its safe to get takeout but I'm just not sure. I want to support them but i'm worried. And with the economy overall in bad shape I don't even want to spend any money unless I have to.
I work in the veterinary field. We are currently no longer seeing anything but emergencies - all wellness/vaccine/routine surgeries are cancelled until further notice. We are not allowing clients into the clinic. We are taking histories over the phone and then bringing only the pet into the clinic from the parking lot. The owners then pay over the phone. We have 75 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Oregon with over 750 tests pending results.I woke up with a cough/sore throat and when I called into work I was told a coworker is suspected of being Covid-19 positive and is in quarantine. I have a video appointment with the doctor this afternoon, so we will see how it goes.
