With reduced staff to operate a drive thru or delivery/carryout operations only, there is enough room to maintain the requirements set forth in the order. Now whether all restaurants comply is another issue... One of my neighbors works at Pizza Hut and they have two inside employees - one person making all the food in the back and one up front to address the carry-out and delivery people that remain outside... Another neighbor works at Wendy's and they have 3 employees - one employee working on the opposite side of the double-sided griddle as the other side would be too close to the fries person and then the drive thru person. A lot of companies have gone to sealing of take out bags and other measures to try to minimize contamination packaging. The CDC recommendation is to take it home and remove all food from its packaging onto plates at home to minimize this risk.. Yeah many are requesting no cash payments and use apps to pay for to further minimize contact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 For those concerned with contaminated surfaces on take-out food, a good strategy is to transfer your food to clean dishes, put those dishes in the oven, throw the original packaging away, and wash your hands. Grocery stores, restaurants and other essential businesses are directed to maintain 6' distances, use good hand-washing and sanitation practices, screen employees' temperatures before they come to work, etc. Just now, spooky21 said: Tell me how unemployment works for a 2 week stay at home period. Let me know how well it works for you and how soon it starts. Ohio has simplified the process of applying for unemployment and eliminated the usual waiting period. Those whose jobs have been eliminated/suspended and who qualify should apply ASAP. Those who continue working essential jobs are literal heroes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio temporarily eliminated the sit out one week waiting period and removed a lot of other requirements such as proving you are looking for a new job (that will probably soon be put back in due to the Kroger's and Amazon's of the world making a request for additional employees directly to the Governor...)

King Ding Dong Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I only filed for unemployment once and that was 30 years ago. I seem to recall something about needing to be employed full time for at least two full quarters to quality. Those could have been state regulations and certainly changed by now. Does anyone know the current OH requirements to qualify? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Here is a newly created website that simulates the impact of various control measures on the pandemic: https://covidactnow.org/ According to Secretary of the Treasury Mnuchin, lockdown measures are likely to last 10 to 12 weeks. That would put us in early to mid June. If antiviral drugs are successful in the coming weeks and months, it's possible we could be looking at a slightly better situation. Current simulations and measures are on the assumption that no pharmaceutical intervention is available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t follow the issue closely but I believe their concern is the other compounds in the vaccine used to stabilize/transport it. Admittedly they are not desirable, but it is believed they are at safe levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Update on anti-vaxer friend- she is now seriously asking someone infect her own family with COVID-19 so they develop a natural immunity as opposed to a vaccinated immunity. My head hurts. At work today, several doctors were giving their opinion. For the healthy, as the virus spreads, it will be unnoticed or mild. Like with the vaccines for other things, this builds herd immunity. It's the outliers that are the most at risk. So while the isolation slows down the spike, it increases the time that herd immunity takes to build. But it helps to save the vulnerable.

Let's just assume the government gives the "all-clear" which allows a mid-May opening and then we get a second wave like China is starting to see - we will then go thru this cycle again, shutting the park down after only a few weeks of being open or not at all and then repeat this cycle for another two-three months...now we are into August or later... Let's all hope people do their part and some of these promising medicines have an impact sooner rather than later... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 One of the more interesting developments this weekend is that many carriers who are otherwise asymptomatic have a temporary loss of smell and/or taste. Hopefully this will result in more cases being detected before they can spread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ding Dong Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Was just thinking about the crowds at grocery stores. With so many off work it should help spread out the crowds some but in my area the stores are far from dead anytime of day. What were the rationals for cutting overnight hours? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 ^^ The main reason was to let staff clean and stock the store without encountering (possibly infected) customers. I made a couple 1-2am Meijer visits while panic buying was setting in, before they started closing overnight. It was reasonably busy even then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the logic in cutting hours but it hurt the opportunity for some to shop for essentials because everyone is going first thing in the mornings while others are still working. I've been 6:54am-5:24pm for 19 days straight so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been 6:54am-5:24pm for 19 days straight so far. Only thing that is changing is the customers who stand around at night waiting on our trucks to show up and for us to roll out the carts. They ask us what time the trucks arrive so they can be there in the middle of the night in our way. Which makes it hard to stock. Every other customer asking where things are or do we have any of x item left. Lots of case buying at night and some people take full cases right off the cart before we can stock it. Others take cases right off the shelf after we stock it. Others open boxes on the cart we are trying to stock. Others demand we dig something off the bottom of a cart for them and get angry when we don't. Sometimes they start unstacking cases from our cart and making a mess in the process. Others decide they no longer want that full case they took and just sit it back on the self where ever they feel like it. In the wrong spot. Sometimes in the wrong aisle. There is no "social distancing" either when its like that. If I'm gonna catch covid-19 then there is nothing I can do. I've been too close to too many people already. So if you shop 6pm-10pm nothing is changing. The shelves still gonna be just as blown as it has been for 10 plus days. Only change is people cant shop middle of the night to get a head start on everybody else and buy it all up before morning comes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thabto Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 They need to limit customers who can shop in the store. Or make it so that you have to order online and do curbside pickup. An Aldi employee in Cleveland tested positive. That right there tells you something needs to be done to limit people in stores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 The grocery stores were just not designed for this, just like the airports weren’t for the increased security after 9/11. Self checkout is better but there is no way to stay 6’ from the cashier in a regular checkout line. Curbside pickup is great but people still insist on squeezing each avocado. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
