My husband is a farmer, so he is still working. My job is in the agriculture industry so my office has not shut down. My company did tell all employees that we could not travel and that if we did we would have to self quarantine for 2 weeks without pay.

Mine also. He works for a glass recycling company and found out today that they are considered an essential part of the food supply chain, because they provide glass bottles and jars to food companies.
He and most of the corporate people can do a lot of their work from home, but the people who work in the plants have to be there. So a lot of their conference calls lately have been focused on how to change operations to keep workers safe and healthy.

Obviously we are not as essential as the health care workers are right now I wouldn't say that; without truck drivers hospitals can't get their supplies, grocery stores can't get food... that affects us all. I'm very appreciative of the trucking industry. |
