No Time to Die... from COVID-19

[LynnInDenver]

Polis has ordered that non-essential Colorado businesses reduce in-person staffing by 50%, either by teleworking, or staggering schedules, starting tomorrow and going through at least the first week of April. I suspect that what's going to happen is some companies will decide they can just try to do without that half of the their employees completely and lay them off.

I'm not sure where I work is considered "essential" - I work in printing, but we do printing for some of the local hospitals, which may bring us some leeway. I know my husband's work is not an essential industry, but I also suspect that, push come to shove, he is one of the ones that can work from home if need be. Parts of my job, I can't work from home for, and in fact it would require a massive upheaval in the way our systems are configured to even allow for it.

Note: my area we can maintain the 6 foot separation with a little effort; there's only two of us in the department, and if needed we can rearrange some equipment and adjust individual duty loads slightly to guarantee the separation.

We're going back to work after vacation tomorrow. We'll have to see what happens from here.
