COVID19-What's Going On in Your Community?

Sean_Miller

Curious to hear directly from folks around the world, what's the response in your community to the COVID19 crisis?

 

Here is my status:

  • Just east of St. Louis Missouri in Illinois.  Population 30,000.
  • All schools closed
  • All restaurants closed with exception of curbside, online orders and fast food drive throughs
  • All small businesses not food or essentials related are closed
  • Must stay sheltered in place at home
  • Gas stations and grocery stores are still open
  • To drive around, you are to have a formal permit provided by your employer to print and put in your vehicle windshield or be going to a grocery store
  • Essential industry like refining has remote workers - site staffing is cut to minimum per Process Safety Management policy
  • We have had one case reported in the community, but several in St. Louis.  One death.
  • Underlying concern across the United States is not sufficient ICU beds and ventilators should we see a surge like Italy (who actually has a better bed/1000 residents ratio)

 

 

See ya',

  • Lincolnshire UK, fair few shops closed. Fuel stations / Coop & food stores / Chemist still open.

     

    My work still open (I teach RAF folks how to fix Typhoon), just finished 2 days in a room with 11 students (normally 12, I should be grateful). image

     

    Thankfully we're only in if we're teaching a class, so we're on skeleton staff, handing over between phases to the next poor sod.

     

    We all have travel permits - locally produced - but there's still cars on the roads anyway, just a lot less.

     

    Social distancing being largely enforced, but being a rural area, some folks are 'hard of understanding' shall we say. image

     

     

    On a positive note, NO ROADWORKS!!!   YAY! image
