In case you missed my earlier post our company makes commercial refrigeration and ice equipment. By far biggest customer base is restaurants. Last week almost all of manufacturing was put on a 3week furlough. Today, 24 salaried employees were permanently sent home. I’m not one. Also some more departments are going to be put on furlough!

mrflynn03 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Anytime I hear or read about testing I feel the urge to eat some oranges. I'm about to single handedly decimate the local supply of oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People even now still want to go out and eat! For instance our sister division makes drink dispensers their biggest customer is Coke, if you’re familiar with the Coke Freestyle machine, the one you can choose from about 300 different flavor combinations! All done with a touch screen, I have it on account that they are trying to come up with a way to operate the machine with a phone app! Come on entrepreneurship, bring back the restaurant business better than ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People even now still want to go out and eat! It's a shame. Running a restaurant is a tough business, normally. However. They should not be having to close over something they had nothing to do with. And you are correct. Much to learn about this going forward. Hey Drrough. Stay safe. Prayers going out to you and yours to get through this thing. I have long list of my favorite HSN members. Just know you are on that list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school district my kids attend will also have July commencements. Not sure if it is students only or if family can attend. My oldest is just a Sophomore, so I have not really paid attention to the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article does a good job pf pointing out many things that have been learned already- https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/who-sent-coronavirus-positive-patients-into-nursing-homes I'm not sure how things are now, but when this started my Mother in Law is the nursing manager at a nursing home and she said that patients were carelessly being transferred between homes. She was very frustrated because there were very few protocols set-up. Considering how many deaths take place in nursing homes, you'd think there should be a quarantining period before anybody is admitted into a nursing home.

Cherry Creek in Arapahoe country granted graduation to our Seniors. The high school paid for and placed lawn signs for all graduates. Two Seniors on my block. Still proudly displaying the signs. Young lady directly across the street from me wanted to go to IU. Where her best friend is. However, because of the virus chose to stay closer to home, and has enrolled in the University of Colorado. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a little complicated, I had worked for this trucking company for 6 years. I worked in their maintenance department processing all of their repair invoices. On March 26tj we found out our department was being taken over my another repair company. I stayed on getting all of our invoices caught up and the day I finally got caught up was the day I found out that I had the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is an consolation to take from that. ------------------------------- I just finished making a payment over the phone. Normally a machine, and I am done. This time the machine was not working. And I was transferred to a lady working from home. And so glad the machine was not working. Isabella. Lives in Arizona. After conducting business. We talked She lives with her mom and dad. Both of which have the virus. And are self contained in separate bedrooms. Her four year old son, that her mom normally takes care of when Isabella has to go in to work, has downs syndrome. He does not have the virus. And Isabella.... like the mile family attends church, weekly..... on line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
