I have been reading most of the posts about the Covid 19 pandemic and am glad that I live where I do. In ND we have the usual things shut down like schools, theaters, sporting events, bars, sit down restaurants and we can't get a haircut but many places remain open. I have been working my usual schedule and even some extra overtime. The county that I live in has about 72,000 population and we had been stuck with 11 positive cases for over a week, and had one new case on Monday. Tuesday I went to work at about 4:45 in the morning and they took my temperature like they have the last two weeks plus, I went in and around 10:00 some people were saying that a couple of coworkers had been tested and by about 3 we heard that they tested positive, at about 5:15 we had a department meeting and they said we were not to come to work until at least Friday as they were going to clean and disinfect the plant. Today on the news they said that 9 employees had tested positive and now the national guard is coming to town to do some mass testing. I also heard that any employee and there immediate family has to self quarantine for 14 days. Even with that the governor and mayor said they still want to get everything open as soon as possible, the governor extended the closures that are in place to April 30th and then go over it again and hopefully start opening up many of the businesses that have been forced to shut down, we will see what happens. I know that myself and many of my coworkers will go back to work as soon as we can.
