Where did you go for your lunch break from work today?

I got some pho. It was perfect on a day like today. We are so busy. Construction is booming. What about you?

Today was the first day since mid-February that I haven't been swamped. I have been working from 9am to midnight weekdays plus weekend work. Eating lunch was an unattainable luxury. There are still a number of projects to be completed, but we are now on hold until others get stuff to us.

Unemployed since last week. Went to our freezer and had a Hoy Pocket for lunch.

We're going strong. Housing prices continue to go up and interest rates are so low it's as if everyone is buying a new house.

What is your sick leave policy for employees who catch covid?

I guess you just take your sick leave like any other time you'd get sick.

I had bat soup, but no fear - I made sure the bat was fully cooked.

I am sure you were one of the first to be fired because you can’t spell ‘hot’.

Getting ready to leave for work. I have two preconstruction meetings this morning on site. Going to stop by Dunkin donuts and get coffee and donuts for the team. It's going to be a great day!

^ You start your day awfully late for a construction manager.

I stay at home, getting my full salary whilst wasting the day away on the underground. The best part is your tax money is paying for it all.

You are dodging the question. You are operating under conditions where coming down with covid is an occupational hazzard. It is no different than operating under conditions where someone dropping a beam on your employee's head is an occupational hazzard. If the latter happened you'd be on the hook under workman's comp. Their recovery would be based on what they lost including medicals and back pay. It wouldn't be limited to whatever sick leave they's accrued.
