Corona Virus Pandemic of 2020

<p>Everyone good here.</p><p><br></p><p>I work in distribution and the wife works IT so she's extra busy working with abnormally high remote workforce and my work is........ the zombie apocalypse. It is utterly insane right now. There are only so many loading docks on warehouses- we simply can't move enough product fast enough. Got to the point where they just gave my department a literal blank check for labor and told me everyone is now allowed to work 168 hours a week(even salaried positions are currently being paid "time and a half" over 40 hours and getting an extra couple hundred bucks a week bonus)- but it doesn't change the physical realities of our dimension(we are up ~100-140% YoY so nobody is angry with us).</p><p><br></p><p>Stores that are closed should be raring to go when they reopen which I hope is near, maybe they can stop spending all their money at my locations(all of which are essential so still open).</p><p><br></p><p>Also, those that can, try and do what you can to keep the local businesses and their employees out of the poor house. Ordering out way more than normal to try and make sure these people aren't starving. A lot of people who normally do this can't afford to right now, so those of us that can please try and help those that can still work but may be facing dire financial straits anyway. Also, building a chunk of cash to go blow at some places of business when they reopen as well.</p>
