Working or not, please stay safe out there. I may be working but I'm trying my best to limit exposure. Not worried as much about me, though I don't want to get sick, I'm worried about bringing it home to younguns, grandbabies and mother in law.

started selling all of their remaining storage root crops and is starting to deliver plants.

you order online , pay with a card you can pick up in their parking lot or pay 5 dollars for delivery and they call you as they roll up to your house and set the box on the porch and go.

you might be able to offer your plants for sale delivery or pickup , especially if you add a vegetable to every order option.

still working, mostly from home.
engineering and surveying firm. we are trying to keep the number of people in office at any given time down as low as possible.
we support the construction industry, which is still considered essential here, so our field operations are running as normal with some extra precautions

Still at it...we’d be working with a Zombie Apocalypse going on. AT&T would just install Ranch Hands on our vans, lol!! The company did offer 4 weeks paid time off for those with young children, or over the age of 60, or an underlying health condition. I’d qualify for the young child, but I just wasn’t raised like that. Plus, those that continued to work got a 20% pay raise.

I work for Snap-on's commercial division. Our customers currently won't let outside vendors on the property, but we are still doing training remotely. I also work locally outside my home every day. Just not touching anyone and trying to be responsible.

My wife works in forkifts, so she is a work every day.

Daughter is a warehouse manager of a place that sells stone for construction. She's at work every day.

Still working here. Railroader going to Texas and Louisiana. Our rail traffic has slowed down tremendously in the last week though.


Old enough to know better, but dumb enough to still try.

Still working like normal. 16hr days all week. I operate equipment at a large aluminum plant. We wont shut down unless its permanent. It cast to much to restart our pot lines. If we ever do shut down I'm good for 80% of my pay for 2 years. While that will be a big cut without the overtime it's still above what I require.

Still going here. Building livestock equipment. Running on half a crew because the other half are either guys over 60 or guys that are just scared to come to work.

Still working. I powdercoated trailers at a trail manufacturer. We have 12 people that work so guess we dont have to shut down. I think in Oklahoma you can do what ever you want. That's what everyone else is doing.

I work for a city government. Board of public works. Things picked up for us. Now we are on call 7 days a week (kinda voluntary, but kinda not) until further notice. Before we took turns being on call for a week at a time. I'll take the extra hour at time and a half. Been 2 or 3 weeks and have not been called out after hours at all.

I'm not getting very many insurance claim inspections but I am day waging on the bigger cattle outfits and managing some feral, invasive, and predatory species.

This rural community is doing a great job of sharing resources and trips to town. Between that and some projects like my recurve bow and quiver Im keeping busy even if Im not cashing huge checks.

Hawbakers pit here at the end of my road is like a ghost town compared to normal.

Only 1 day a week for me at the school. We are helping box up and deliver 170+ meals to our elementary students (breakfast and lunches). The rest of the day I spend trying to do my regular maintenance work. Got the grass mowed at the school Monday...that took 6 hours just to do around the building. Ballfields and bus garage I hope get done by one of the other guys or its going to get out of control.

Me. At least for now. Maybe not if things get worse. Quite a few positive cases in town last couple days. If word comes in that it's being found in the plant (down to less than 1000 now working) i will opt to stay home.
