When this is all over, maybe consider a point-of-use on-demand hot water heater
for the garage sink. The rest of the world has used them forever, not sure why
they have only recently become popular here. Even just for washing the bird
poop off reclaimed radios, a little hot water helps.
For washing hands, I don’t think hot water is mandatory. I like the foaming
hand soaps in the pump bottles, if the only water was cold, I’d still wash my
hands.

Thats what I mean by lysol stocked, it will be sprayed down. Recovered
equipment will be placed in quarantine.
I dont even know if we can legally shut down the bathroom, but the purpose is
to get the guys in and then out the door, poop at home, come to work, grab
gear, grab van and go.
We dont have hot water, so wash station is about pointless, but they can wash
in the sink basin in the garage though. (we dont have hot water because there
is so little use and our facility is so large the old plumbing will destroy a
standard hot water heater in short time.Its a constant battle keeping the
urinal valve cleared. we do have a bathroom with hot water near the living
quarters, but it requires traversing the whole place)

Do you have a sink in the garage area for washing hands, with soap and paper
towels? I still view handwashing as my #1 protection against contracting or
spreading the virus. I guess liberal use of alcohol based hand sanitizer would
be the backup plan.
I know the bathroom sounds like a risk for contamination, but I’m not sure
that’s true. Wash your hands before and after, use paper towels, and the sink
and toilet can be sanitized pretty easily with some Clorox spray cleaner.
Getting spread by clothes seems a very low probability scenario. Before I
worried about that, I’d be wiping equipment down with disinfecting wipes before
leaving them for the tech or getting them back, since those are hard surfaces
touched with your hands.

So got an update
Anybody curious, this is for Illinois.
IDPH hotline 18008893931
option 4 I was in contact with a positive case but have no symptoms
Continue normal activity if contact was not within 6 feet for more than a few
minutes
If there are no symptoms and there was not contact within 6 feet for more
than a few minutes an employer CANNOT facilitate an asymptomatic test
The followup on the customer, Im not so mad now. He works in a office where a
lady tested positive, close proximity. So he was an asymptomatic precautionary
test, he met the criteria because he was within 6 feet for more than a few
minutes. This place had another positive last week supposedly. thankfully they
are closed for sanitation. We will be avoiding people that work there.
Given the issue, we are closing all our communal areas, no coffee pot, not
fridge, no restroom use. Primary installer will operate out of the garage and
only use the garage door, he wont enter the work area. hes set up for remote
now and will be on call when hes not actively on jobs. We would send the work
truck home but he doesnt have a garage and we are already seeing an increase in
vehicular burglary. Owner will stay remote. Other tech will be remote with his
van in his garage. There is a large workbench in the garage where inventory
will be available for resupply. It will be lysol stocked at night.
Im a dirty bastard so ill be using the primary workspace to do builds and all
that. if im not building or hanging, ill be home.
I will have techs meet me on build sites as required. We will have as minimal
contact as is realistic. If its just 911 guy for tower work, they wont leave
the vehicle. We will go back to me humping stuff up grain legs and towers for a
while if its reasonable weight.
Thank god we dont have to shut stuff down for 2 weeks every time some pauper
approaches us. Techs were given clear instruction that if the customer comes
outside, they are to get back in the work truck and if customer wont stop
approaching, just to leave the site, we will recover equipment later

Doesn't matter what you touch as long as you wash your hands after any
potential contact. You could stick your finger up an infected person's nose,
and as long as you washed your hands, you are cool.
I am not advocating that (just in case someone misinterprets what I'm
saying).

Depends upon what he touched on the outside. Anything the customer may
have sneezed/coughed/touched spit even took a deep heavy breath on could have
enough of this nasty if he didn't immediately sanitize after touching and
getting back into his vehicle and spreading it around. Touch his face with an
infected hand/glove and he's on the merry-go-round.. Touch his truck and
someone else touches it.. Less likely but possible. 3-7 DAYS on metal
surfaces is really bad if not sanitized. Door bells are a bad thing.. Gates
are a bad thing..

This is exactly why our company stopped all in person customer
interactions on March 16th.
Customers lie or don’t know they even have it, then your tech gets
infected along with their whole family, then the rest of your crew.
NO ONE SHOULD BE GOING INTO ANYONE ELSES HOUSE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS.
We are only doing service calls if we can fix it from the outside.

Im so pissed right now. Tech had a No Line Of Site wednesday.
apparently customer got tested on, positive result today. My guess would be he
was symptomatic wednesday if it was bad enough for a test the next day. I fin
out he was already on quarantine wednesday, im going to probably lose my stuff.
He answered negative to the questionnaire. The tech has been anal about this
since day one. We went no touch last monday officially. he had no contact
closer than 10 feet. Never went inside. sanitizes constantly. But we have no
choice but to go down a tech for 14 day quarantine. We are closed tomorrow for
a video-conference to regroup. Tuesday we will probably be sanitizing
everything.
there is little to no chance the tech caught it. he is writing down
arrival to exit to help him remember if there is any chance of contamination.
We have to try to get the health department to give us clear
guidance on company operations over the next 2 weeks.
If this guy lied on the questionnaire ...... Ill probably end up in
jail. We have too much going on to be a man down, much less a whole company
down. If he got my installer sick, and lied on the questionnaire, kunkgflu will
not be his primary concern anymore

The story leaves you both hopeful and pessimistic. He got some
treatments other than what the hospital wanted to use, but only through
extensive intervention from doctor friends and people who read about him
online. He did recover. Some of the nonstandard treatments may have worked.
But you or I probably wouldn’t have gotten them. You realize how difficult it
is to get something like remdesivir given the approvals needed. And the push
to intubate rather than have you breathe the virus on hospital staff, even if
it’s maybe not the best treatment. And how doctors and hospitals were slow to
realize this disease was different.

Because the fda doesnt approve without the trials, to avoid the
liability. It's only approved off label use, hence, zero liability

interesting to me because it's bringing to light the fact that COVID-19 is
apparently not what people are dying from, it's the secondary ARDS-like
(Accute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) condition. There is also some debate
within the medical community whether ventilators are helping or hurting. Maybe
what they need to do is just supply oxygen.
