    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. I’m hoping we have a lot of fearful drivers $$$$.

    I stayed home for a week. Now I'm good to go. I wonder if there is more money in dry box vs step Deck at this point. Will construction slow down?

    I feel like the panic is causing much more problems than the actual spread and sickness that the virus causes... Why didn't we see this kind of panic when tens of thousands of young adults and children were dying from H1N1???
    The fear is being spread by news and social media and much of it is hyped up.

    If you get it, stay home while you're sick, coughing, sneezing, fever, then get back to work. You don't want to be spreading it around while you're sick. That's true for the flu and Coronavirus.

    Keep on working and take precautions. If sick, stay parked.
