And I heard that Michael Olsenhome was on some program saying that 20% of the workforce could be hit by mid January and could put a lot of strain on an overall system, especially the health care system that is already completely taxed. So he was thinking that we might be looking at a lockdown in certain places just to make sure that we get through this and don't overtax that health care system that is already just hanging

I was one of those people who had to go get a PCR test because I was in contact with someone or actually two people who tested positive. So it's kind of crazy. I mean, Unfortunately, I'm not in a position where I get to stay home. I have to be there. But every day just worried, like, okay, am I going to have it next? It's just daunting. It really is

So that's a really great point to bring up is we need to keep our healthcare people healthy and we need to keep them working. And how can we do that in this type of environment so interested to hear what other people have to say about this and what they've learned about it and hoping that we look at a positive direction in the next couple of weeks. Now that the holiday surge is over, we can get everyone, hopefully vaccinated or separated, so they're not infecting more people

And I think consumers, I think just ordinary people are just the level of angst and just the fuses are so short that if an order takes too long, they're starting to explode. The now economy getting what you want when you want it, whenever you want. It just is not there right now. And I don't think people are handling it very well
The government is doing, in my opinion, a pretty poor job of making testing accessible for people, making sure that if someone is sick, the appropriate measures are taken to control the situation as best as possible and make sure other people are safe. We're seeing that a lot of schools are sort of left to their own devices. They're kind of just being told, figure it out

The rule in place based on CDC recommendations prior to this was if you are known to be exposed at work, somebody has coveted and you are exposed to them. You needed to go and quarantine yourself for five days at home and get a test on that fifth day. And if you take a test prior to that, it's irrelevant. They won't even look at it, because what the science was telling them before that was that you most likely will not test positive for Covet until that fifth day
