Rarely, if never do multiple trades or even multipleworkers work on top of one another or even simultaneously. Why? Safety first. Moreover, while I've not been on that site, it appears massive, hence a potential for a wide berth friending on the project management team's schedule & integration of trades accordingly. Finally, if they follow standard safety protocol & hold mandatory morning meetings as required, chances are they're safer than most given PPE requirements depending on the work If you’ve ever worked on a construction site, you’d know that no one shakes hands.

Seems like someone should have an answer by now, as it has been quite a few days since the first news story. Just how long before “PRESUMPTIVE” is a yes or no?

We all need to behave like we are infectious so we can avoid spreading it if we have it. Door handles at businesses and point of sale credit card swipe displays and gas pumps, shopping carts are probably where we are most likely to contract or transmit this virus. When I was out and about two days ago I didn't see anyone cleaning any of these or making it convenient for patrons to protect themselves. This is very far from over.

I'm sure you can do this without giving your name if that is something you are concerned about . There are so many people that are not taking this serious enough , those are the ones that are going to cause more sickness and death in our community . @ Anonymous.. if you know this to be “Fact” then maybe you should report this to the health officials .

Thu, 19 Mar 2020 02:35:08 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=396027#comment-409266 Very irresponsible for both Navy Federal management and the news outlets to use the term “presumptive positive” when this did not meet the definition as defined by the CDC. As a result you’ve created 8 buildings of alarmed/fearful/distracted employees (given the bldg number of the suspected case wasn’t shared & rumors I heard today named every bldg but the main with branch) & their friends & family... Some people didn’t show up today because they were scared. Maybe “suspected case” or “displayed COVID-19 like symptoms” would have still made people feel informed without creating as much of a panic. DO BETTER. We are worried enough with misinformation & rumors. :( Very irresponsible for both Navy Federal management and the news outlets to use the term “presumptive positive” when this did not meet the definition as defined by the CDC.
