I'm in a similar boat.

There was some talk early on of retasking some admin/support officers to enforcement work, but so far that hasn't come about.

Those of us with issued laptops have a little leeway to work a bit from home, when we can get by with it. Mainly just means I can take my sweet time getting around in the mornings while responding to emails.

Word.

"Do that. Scratch that, do this. Wait, go back to doing that. I meant to say, do this. Well, do this until the meeting tomorrow morning when we'll make a final decision about whether we want you to do this or do that."

Shit's exhausting, especially when you have your team constantly bugging you about whether they should do this or that, and you don't even know anymore.

Door to office is locked, everyone who enters gets their temp taken. Wipes @ each workstation. My commute is 25% quicker. If need be, everyone can work from home with work phones forwarded to cell phones.

I’m still going to work on my shift nights. They just started taking everyone’s temperatures yesterday. Wife is able to work from home, so thankfully we have no loss of income.

I'm still going to work everyday as I work in a healthcare facility. My wife and daughter are both still going to work each day also.

We're an 'essential' company so we're open 24/7.
But in my group, we just started alternate weeks, working from home a week, and from work the next week, with only half the group at work, so easier to 'social distance' ourselves.

My commute hasn't changed much. I'm in by 0600, so traffic is always light, and my normal departure time puts me home before the local schools release, if they were in session.

They've got a nurse contracted from 0530 to 0830 to forehead scan all employees coming in for a fever, so that took a bit to get used to. Anyone 100°+ gets sent home.

Still working the night shift on the road. Like chongo said, procedures change all the time, for us and neighboring agencies. We've got one guy out sick now, don't think it's the covid, though. We only have one confirmed case in our county so far, so it's kinda the calm before the storm. If guys start dropping, keeping shift coverage is gonna be interesting.

They're taking steps to isolate us from each other and everyone else...it's all well and good in theory, but it's kinda hard to maintain social distancing when you're fighting with a beligerant drunk. Thankfully call volume is down...I'm spending most of my time checking businesses and responding to an uptick in domestics. I imagine those will get worse as this goes on. Our public for the most part has been well behaved, though. Few arguments or fights in the stores. Most folks are staying home except for work and food. The decrease in traffic is pretty nice.

I'll admit it's starting to get kinda stressful, especially when all you have to do all night is sit by yourself in your car and worry about what's coming. Thankfully I'm off for the next 3 days, so I get a bit of a break.

Just started my days off for this week. Work has been absurdly quiet. I expected just the opposite with all that's going on, but I guess people are afraid to go to the hospital so a lot less medicals and less cars on the road so less MVAs.

No changes, going to work as usual. (Auto repair shop, an "essential" business.) I did leave early today. It has slowed down quite a bit - a man was laid off and another got his hours reduced - but I'm still paying the bills.

I am. 5x a week, 8 hrs per shift. There is a lot of changes going on in our hospital to retro-fit some units in anticipation of the surge in infected number. Working from home is not an option for both me and my wife. Both in the healthcare field.

I finished up the first round of fertilizing last Thursday and I've got a few more days before I've got to get out to clean up lawns and maybe mow. I rarely see a customer so social distancing is already built into the process.

I work !! and work 55 + hours a week. I'm older but I still go at it. I usually rise by 4:30 am......

We are deemed essential industry so we are getting after it....

My commute is about 15 minutes and has not changed.

We are trying to do all we can to work safe but we acknowledge there is only so much we can do...

I'm IT in software development and have been quarantined for 3 weeks working from home. I finally get to go back on Monday. Damn I'm looking forward to it, then I heard they're trying to shut down Salt Lake City. FUCK FUCK FUCK. Cool thing is I'm still working.

I'm not but I'm still driving around a bit for various reasons.

I'm seeing a lot more exotics on the road on a regular basis. Usually just see them in the mornings on weekends... Now I see them frequently. I don't even know what they are called. Most look like some model of Lamborghini or Ferrari. Some I have no clue.

I work everyday. Military stuff. The days are shorter though.

I’m still going to the office, but not everyone at the company is. We sent as many people home as we could while still meeting our obligations. Luckily, only one customer has ordered us to keep at least one person on-site at their location. Being one of the folks still in the office means I’m busier than ever. No Corona vacation for me.

I am the shop Foreman for a large environmental excavation contractor. We have slowed down but start a big cleanup Tuesday at a large college.looks like be working a few more weeks.
https://www.rwcollins.com/ I guess we have been deemed essential

We are essential at my work , so it's 40hrs. every week and a commute that lets me drive the limit. We are normally close to 50hrs. but I've never relied on OT so it's all good.

I have too... I work in a prison and my wife works 9-1-1. So we have been leaving our 16 year old son home along alot.

Staying home would be ok with me. Not looking forward to the next few weeks. Once a staff member introduces it there is a potential for it to spread fast .

I wouldn't care if it was just me but my wife is an at risk group.

Still going in, though practically nothing to do. I did do a 3-stage buffing on the Corvette today, so the day wasn't a total loss. The nice / weird thing is, I have NEVER seen this little traffic in Atlanta.

I'm on a forced sick time off. Since I volunteer a lot, I have switched from driving to work, to driving to the non-profits. Feels like I'm still working. I do like the light traffic though!
