We have a case in two of our service counties now. Rumor mill puts one in
the town I live in. Not surprising since this is the only hospital in the
county.
We are meeting on monday to discuss game plan. Im recommending we go to
voluntary work status only. Nobody should feel pressured into exposures.
Considering we are such a small shop, I'm also recommending this be the
last in person meeting and we isolate, whether remote or separate rooms.
All we need is one person getting a fever and health dept quarantining the
company.
With everybody packing in their house with shelter in place, bacteria and
non kungflu viral counts inside houses is maximized. I have a 4 day old
baby at home now, so I wont be entering any houses under any circumstances,
all I need to do is bring home some super long rot that's been festering in
a house and a customer lied to us (not that they ever would)
I'm working on a project, I'll share a part of the plan, installs that can
be installed with a TPost with a satellite pipe adapter will be. Premade
outdoor cables, 25 and 50 feet in length. Surge suppressor secured next to
a window. A premade indoor 25 foot patch cable with power supply and router
reattached in a bag. Hang it on the surge suppressor. Customer can reach
out the window and get it, just plug them in and go.
Keeps time on site down, less chance of a customer moseying out and giving
me the flu by getting chatty. No direct contact.
Keep in mind, customers need to keep their pets inside while onsite,
they're covered in whatever bugs are in the house. Me personally, I don't
have it in me not to pet the dog if the dog wants petting.
We are seeing a few epmp 1k and 2k hitting 80 to 90 percent frame
utilization or more during peak times, so all we need is a quarantine with
3k radios sitting on the bench ready to go and nobody to hang them.
