I have an job interview today for a position in another essential company that has a tiny staff, solid social distancing practices, no contact with the general public, and a lot more pay. Wish me luck.

Seems to me that this is a good sign - they wouldn't have bothered letting you have a tour, and talk to potential co-workers, etc. unless they figured you were a likely candidate. No sense letting their employees get distracted for no reason.I got to meet everybody else (two other guys) and they showed me around. I want that job. It's a technical sales position that I'm very well qualified for.
Aw, Diana, good luck once you get to do your interview. Sounds like a great place for you.
My test came back negative! Work continues to be cautious, & I need 3 days of no symptoms before coming back. I had a headache (outside my headache cycle) this morning so I’m checking in again on Sunday.
“We spent about 22 days and nights dealing with this whole transaction with Korea. We dealt with the Korean Embassy, folks at the State Department ... and our scientists on both sides trying to, you know, figure out these tests,” Hogan said, adding that he also coordinated with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“And then at the last moment, I think 24 hours before, we got the sign-off from the FDA and Border and Customs, to try to make sure that we landed this plane safely," he continued.
Hogan said state officials ensured the plane landed at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport rather than Dulles International Airport in Virginia, noting that it was the first time a Korean Air passenger plane had landed at the airport.
“We landed it there with a large contingent of Maryland National Guard and Maryland State Police, because this was an enormously valuable payload. It was like Fort Knox to us, because it’s going to save the lives of thousands of our citizens,” Hogan continued.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis did not announce that the state recently received over 100,000 coronavirus test kits from South Korea over fears that federal authorities could seize them.
Multiple instances of feds seizing state supplies of tests and personal protective equipment have been reported since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Polis said on Friday that Colorado kept their latest shipment hidden because the state did not want to lose the tests to "the competition."
"We were worried that the federal government or somebody else would take them," the governor told Colorado Public Radio. "We kept it under wraps. We simply didn't know if anybody would swoop in... I mean, we didn't want another state or the feds or anybody."
"We don't want to give the competition, which could mean other countries, could mean our own country, could mean other states—we don't want to give them a heads up of what we're doing," he added.
And while those idiots with assault phalluses are protesting their state capitals, governors are using the national guard and state police to guard tests they have imported from South Korea from federal government seizure.
Wow! Just wow!

COLORADO PURCHASED 100K COVID-19 TESTS FROM SOUTH KOREA AND 'KEPT IT UNDER WRAPS' TO AVOID FEDS SEIZURE, SAYS GOVERNOR
Whatever happened to that United States thing?
No fever, no fever, no fever...
I'm chanting with you.
Whatever happened to that United States thing?
These protesters are nothing if not internally inconsistent. They're for states rights, except when they are whining for the Feds to undermine their governors' orders, and they're all about flag-waving patriotism, except when they hate government. Then they're all about hating "big government" and big on bootstrapping, except when they're whining that the Feds give more help to the big cities and ignore the rural areas.
I think some people simply aren't "happy" unless they have something to be angry about.
I think many of the protests in this case are astroturf.
