Are essential workers dropping like flies?

I mean there are people working every day and exposed to the public. Are they being infected or dying in big numbers?

Dropping those sick beats via tik tok

You don’t have to dodge piles of dead essential workers on your way to the grocery store or Lowe’s?

Hell no.

They don’t matter. We need testing 3 times a day for non essentials, but essential workers are really sacrificial workers.

Nope. Hazard pay comes with immunity.

Everyone that goes outside is dying!!!

Maybe. I’m on day 2 of catching up on the last 90 days of CBTs. Run, hide, fight might make me jump out the windows.

My family owns an oilfield company in Broussard and Houston and we have not stopped working since it started. We did allow a couple with health problems to work from home, but they are back now. Nobody got sick and no family member of any employee has contracted the virus. So that is one example directly from the mouth of a so say essential employee.

I had one employee die 3 times last week. Gotta pad those #'s
He is back at work this week though.

Earlier tax cuts took most of them years ago!

That probably depends both on what rate of death would you consider "dropping like flies" and how much that essential service interacts with the public. Try to buy some bacon 3 weeks from now that the "essential"plant that processes almost half of our pork closed up because too many workers got sick. On the other hand, there are tons of essential IT workers who are fine.
I'll just say that my organization has added a in memoriam section to our weekly all hands meeting. That would have been unfathomable 90 days ago...

No. Our nurses aren’t. So the grocery store folks probably aren’t.

We were deemed essential and have been in office everyday and some have been in through the weekends. I'm exposed to the people in our small, corporate office as much as I am my family members. No Wuhan Virus here.
We have customers with virus outbreaks. I've not heard of employee deaths at the specific plants we service but these customers have experienced employee deaths at other plants.

I keep seeing this here but it never gets explained.
Who is padding what?
how is whoever getting paid?
who is doing the paying for these deaths?
By what mechanism are they transferring the money?

That’s brutal. Seriously, hopefully you all come through this quickly.

Of course not.

My wife is a RN and there are some nurses and other providers that she's aware that are positive.
Of those that are positive, I have a strong suspicion that it was contracted by one individual outside of the hospital and then spread to immediate co workers.

I appreciate that.
It's not a ton of people; just a couple a week and they sort of fit the health status situation that you might expect. But as you can imagine it's had an impact on absenteeism.
