Coronavirus

Business insider had an article about Walmart and Amazon drivers not being told how to deal with the coronavirus. I doubt most of our companies have. To be honest, it's not the employers job to. The way I interpreted the article was they're trying to make both companies look like they don't give a crap about their drivers. It even says that drivers don't handle the freight so why does B.I. make it into a big deal? ......

Business Insider puts up stuff I often don't come across elsewhere so I do read a good bit there, but your point about a slanted view is well taken. It's a lot of ongoing work to keep an active radar going for media bias from EVERY source.

..... the coronavirus kills about 2%....

Regarding that 2%.... it may shrink considerably as it's being recognized that there's possibly a larger, uncounted pool of infected people who have minimal symptoms and may never be diagnosed, thus being uncounted in the pool.... if those were factored in, the 2% drops.

Trucking presents unique challenges for risk mitigation. Who's ultimately in charge, or what is the logical chain of command? Once again, the bottom line in this, a different venue, may best be served with the same self-accountable, self-responsible attitude that differentiates top-tier drivers.

There seems to be a treatment now.. but its given I.V... =expensive! .. yea, I can't get masks to sell.. people haven't panicked so far around here. neither can we get more hand sanitizer! eesh.. I'm gonna tell ppl to wash their hands like they just ate crabs and need to take out contacts, LOL.

@Rob T I couldn't agree more with what you said about hand washing,
