Over half my crew has taken a leave of absence, and several of those that remain are working reduced hours. Starting today, I have to check everyone's temperature and ask them a slew of questions like if they have traveled recently or had symptoms of the China virus.

Week by week these rules have just been a little bit more irritating. It has gotten to the point that it just seems unreasonable to keep us open.

I suspect that next week I will have to start doing prostate exams to every employee before they can enter the building.

Christ, this is dumb.

The touchless thermometer that we're using at my job isn't actually accurate, It's been reporting about 2 degrees lower on average.

That's what I had always been taught through my various training programs. I think this kind of stuff is all just to make people look like they are doing some thing to prevent the spread.

There was a rumor that someone contacted OSHA that were noncompliant with the guidelines and they're putting an effort to appear like they are.
