3. At home not working but still getting paid
3. Been Quarantined
4. Been indirectly exposed
5. Been Directly Exposed
6. Actually have the virus

We live in a very rural area of north central Arkansas. We grow a big garden and the wife cans or freezes lots of stuff, grow our own beef and the whole family hunts and fishes. We keep well supplied with food stuffs, gas, propane, etc. I have 2 generators and backup heat. All my stock eats grass. We've had tornadoes and ice storms knock our power out for weeks at a time before, so we stay ready to be on our own. So far this been a minor event as far as how it's affected us directly. Except for grandkids being out of school and staying with us during the day, church services being cancelled and gas get'n a lot cheaper, it really hasn't changed everyday life for us, yet. Now I realize that "YET" could change in a hurry, but I really don't know what else we can do to prepare. I know none of this will protect us from a virus, but hopefully isolation will help with that.

I'll say #7 with a disclaimer, still working as somewhat normal but it's defiantly affecting our business. Many of our customers are closing up temporarily, travel is getting restricted, etc.

I work for a utility company. They have implemented pretty strict guidelines which has basically forced me to stay home. My kids are sick and I have allergies, so therefore I have "symptoms" and must stay home. It is all paid, but my mental sanity could be tested staying home with my kids for more than a week. The company has implemented a BUNCH of new rules while at work. The office people are working from home and us field workers have a bunch of new rules to abide by.

#7 for me. I work from home and hasn’t (and shouldn’t effect our company). I feel lucky so far.

I work in the oil field. 2 guys just got laid off and I'm looking for it any day with NO work to go find. I have my CWI's to work on the pipeline but that is dry also. May just have to take a few months off. Its stupid bad in my line of work.

I'm at work have my own trailer and about 2 weeks worth of food will be around people but not to extreme.

Oil field and 7. When this quarantine is finally over hopefully the oil prices start rising again

Add # 9Work at home all that I can, that would be me.

Somewhere between 2 and 7. I’m in the Dairy industry

Truth be told it seems like I work from a backpack mostly no matter what. Difference is I’ve got munchkins to watch now at the same time.

I was sent home with my laptop. I'm expected to work. I can tell my productivity is going to fall off. And that is something that isn't tolerated in my organization. Not that I do any work. We have people that actually get the work done. But keeping them focused right now is hard to do.

Well my wife works for the power company and is "mission critical " but she is working from home (lots of conference calls and video chat). I am retired but go to school for welding and we are now remote as of Monday, I had until today to get my welds done and will be doing book work for the next two weeks.

Well I'm @ #7, but being a trim carpenter (sub) as jobsites close down due to this crap I keep having less and less work. Not much of a work from home trade 🤷‍♂️
That being said though, 🤔 I do have a lot of work to do @ home. I just hope this blows over fairly quick cause my wife being a stay @ home mom and me being the only income, I dont really have the luxury of being home jobless for months.
Maybe I can start selling TP 🤣🤣

This whole thing is so frustrating!
Earlier today, my largest customer emails me stating they are closing manufacturing from 3/30 until Easter Monday. Not even an hour ago they send a new memo saying they are considering themselves "critical manufacturing" under the new DHS guidelines, and now view my company as a critical supplier.

Well this definitely throws a wrench in our plans and what we had meetings about earlier today.

Does this really surprise you? Big companies are managed by people that should be working on the MGF. lines! But they have that piece of paper! I think any CEO should start out in the mail room!

Just frustrating that we spent time trying to plan on shutting down or running a skeleton crew to build stock. And now all that is potentially out the window.

My wife and I are in quarantine awaiting a much delayed test result. Five days now and no results. She is working from home as are all in her organization. I'm retired, so no biggie as far as work is concerned but I do get to watch my investments nose dive in real time. Hoping for a good result and hoping the best for everyone out there.
