The PA Chapter's "Coronavirus Free" April 2020 Chat and B/S Thread

This current state of affairs must be the biggest April Fool's joke yet.

Time to rip off another month from the calendar. With any luck, this month will bring the end of this situation, and point us to better things and days ahead. It's rough out there, and there's a lot of things to shift through without question. Hopefully this finds all who stop in well and that will continue to be the trend.

Enough for me, you know what to do so do it.

Morning folks.

Just announced that my county requested to be added to the "stay at home" order for PA. Total of 33 counties now on the list.

Not sure if that affects me, at this point anyhow. In the Monday conference call between remote staff and our manager, they were targeting 4/20 regardless of the order because we're considered an essential operation. They may change their mind and hold us out til May now...who knows.

Morning guys. Still coming to the plant, we'll see what happens after this weekend. May be sending us home. Then again, they may not. They did issue us "Pandemic Passports", so we can travel to work, if they lock everything down. Guess that makes me impotent......LOL

lol, morning Pat. My boss (who is still reporting to the plant daily) hasn't been stopped by anyone regarding essential/non-essential travel at this point. Seems like the only time anyone's saying anything about that is if there's something that makes the cop stop you (i.e., a wreck or other offense like speeding/DUI/reckless driving, etc.). Like anything else, that can all change in a flash.
