So who has to go to work tomorrow?

I've been on vacation all week because I had to use it or lose it.
I'll be heading back to work tomorrow. I work in the health industry and considered essential personnel.
I'm going in early and spraying down my office and work area before I do anything else.
I have no idea who has been in my area while I've been out.
A co-worker called me and said there was a rumor I had the virus and that's why I've been out. Argggh!
Crazy times.

I went into the office yesterday morning to get more stuff to work on. Lots of incident command folks milling around on a Saturday morning.

My wife was working a 25 hour a week contract job as an attorney, but has stopped until and unless they initiate working from home.
My son was laid off last week. His wife is still going into an office.
My oldest daughter is recovering from major shoulder surgery while her husband works from home.

The one that keeps me up at night:
My baby is a first year nurse at a big city hospital and her husband is an Air Force medic. She says she realizes both of them
may be one breath or one touch away from being in the ICU next week.

He is off 1 day a week.

His office calls all of the aides every morning to check on their current health before going to work.

Yes, I'm worried. We live in NY state about 100 miles north of NYC.

this is my last week with the company.

Then it's unemployment and 12 hours a week at an Amazon fulfillment center

Been to work every day of this. Life’s actually pretty normal when you have to show up for work. Except I have to go to the grocery store about 3 times as often to get what I need.
