I work at a Costco in Ottawa, Ontario and shit has been crazy. Fire Marshall shutting down the store because there are too many people. 1000 customers in the first half hour on one day.
The police have been around to make sure people don't trample eachother to death to get toilet paper. There have been fist fights.
All this talk of self isolation and working from home has me worried, we don't get that luxury. The Ontario government has offered people employment insurance but I'm not 100% on the full details.
I live with someone who is at risk of serious complications if they get sick, and the fact I'm coming into contact with 100's and sometimes thousands of people a day is only increasing my anxiety.
Fuck it, I'm half tempted to just call in and isolate for awhile. This giant company doesn't really give a shit about me and family's well being, and since required doctors notes have been waived and the government is at least providing some compensation I should just go for it.
Stay safe out there duders
