I own a business, went North Skiing with a friend who owns a business as well on Thursday night. Listened to him for three hours going off on how this is all an overreaction. The situation developed and the ski area closed after Saturday. Guess what I listed to for three hours all the way home? You guessed it - What are we going to do with our employees and protect ourselves.
For a not so comical situation it was quite comical to remind him of his shift in perspective.
We are taking common sense measures at work - good hygiene, limiting social activity and everyone knows if they even think they are sick to stay home. I have two people traveling, I am in contact to monitor their situations and if they think they are a risk they will stay home without question.
Once someone in a company contracts it, it's a shut-down for the business. You can't expect people to come into a building where there's been a case, it just won't happen. We live in the commercial / Industrial world and feel like if we can stay healthy this whole mess won't sting as much. I feel bad for the businesses that are taking a hit. Let's work to make sure things are as short lived as possible, no need to go into the Lake season with an economic slow down.
