“I would hate to be the person that went into this retirement home and ended up getting somebody sick,” he added. “I mean that would be devastating to me.” On Friday, union employees represented by the Teamsters petitioned UPS, calling on the company to provide 14 days of sick leave to quarantined employees — who were being encouraged to use their sick pay or vacation time — and asking that the company provide hand sanitizer and increase cleaning of heavily used areas.

How power companies are keeping your lights on during the pandemicThe American power grid has been described as the world’s biggest machine — and the people who run that machine say they’re prepared to keep the lights on as the coronavirus pandemic spreads. Unless they get hacked or otherwise compromised by mr potus and mr putin. Cool way to push people (who can afford it) to leave the state for good. Thank goodness for my cheap socalgas bill!!
