    Unless you employ essential personnel your employees should stay home tomorrow. If you are unsure of the definition of essential personnel, please submit your resignation as you are not qualified for your position.

    If you are not essential personnel, stay off the roads, because your ignorance may put our essential personnel in harms way.
