    I had to take a random last Monday. There wasn’t but a few people in there, but they had a form asking questions about symptoms. My first thought was “crap, I’m stuck here for awhile”. But I was pretty much in and out

    To suspend drug testing at the same time the HOS are suspended for many drivers does not seem to be the smartest thing to do. Them West Memphis road dope dealers would be making bank.

    Yeppers. I actually did a random Monday. First it's not an urgent care we go to, it's an occupational care clinic.
    The only people in there was your normal work injuries (a busted wrist was one) and DOT physicals and drug testing.

    So as long as people are going to an occupation care place there is no chance of getting the COVID-19.

    And yes, it is paranoia. If the numbers are averaged from since CDC started counting, more people have already died from the flu this year (In the US) than have even gotten sick from COVID-19. Yet we are not hearing those numbers.....

    I agree with @Cat sdp. The last place I'd want to go to right now is where a bunch of sick people congregate, particularly for that. Even if it likely wouldn't kill me, who wants to endure that crud if they don't have too.

    Whoa, whatcha hiding, nothing, come here to me and I'll pee in your cup anytime, otherwise not until this crud blows over.

    Right now, news is saying 1 per hour dying in NYC.

    Coronavirus killing more than a person an hour in NYC

    You can thank that monstrosity of a dump for the lower cases in Staten Island. Those folks have been genetically modified from having lived there for so many generations.
