Would you rather be in quaratine or would you rather be considered "essential staff" and have to go to work?

Quarentined. My hub has an essential job but requested to stay home as the numbers of deaths are increasing rapidly in my county.

I'm considered essential staff so i have to go to work.
The upside is the regular money.
The downside is there's no social distancing in my office of about 150 people.

@SW-User I understand my friend. I have to go to work too. Fortunately, I work the night shift and there are only about 7 staff here. But we do touch everything the previous shifts have touched.

@MeowsoliniReturns Yes the cleaning aspect is a bit of a worry. My work has a full time team of cleaners but they can't be everywhere at once.

@SW-User I know what you mean about that!

I'm "essential staff" that's fortunate enough to be able to work from home. That's the best position to be in, I think.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Rutterman I am so glad you can work from home! That is ideal. I wish I could too, but of course the nature of my job is working directly with youth.

@MeowsoliniReturns Stay safe and healthy, my friend.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Rutterman Thank so much. I will do my very best. You too!

I prefer being in quarantine. Essential staff are being worked half to death right now...that's why we are calling them our heroes.

@MeowsoliniReturns I've heard EMT's are leaving in droves because the emotional impact is so toxic for them, and I understand that. I hope you stay safe and well, also. 🤗
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@4meAndyou How awful :( My job depresses me as well. I work at a juvenile detention center and see so many abused and neglected kids. After this pandemic is over I plan to look for a new line of work. All the best to you! 🤗

@MeowsoliniReturns To you, too, my friend.

I like being essential staff.

@SinlessOnslaught I am essential staff too.

I mean I like being essential when we're not being fucked hard by the rest of the world that gets to stay home... but it'd be best if I was quarantined
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@SailorMarz I feel the same way!

I’m a little nervous that I’m one of those “ICU” candidates. If I was the healthy guy from 10 years ago... I would be ok with being essential.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@SW-User :( I sure hope not!
TheIncredibleHulka · 31-35, F
I'm doing the latter but I'd rather be in full quarantine, for the sake of my family at least.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@TheIncredibleHulka Yes, me too.

UnlikeableAndy · 36-40, M
I’m working remote while in lockdown/quarantine.. I’d rather do something else..
Vetrov · 61-69, M
I'm essential.

I'm going to milk this pandemic for all its worth
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@Vetrov 🤣
I like being essential... it’s nice getting out and seeing friends/co workers

Quarantine the fuck outta me 🤔😦👀
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@MrFreeeeeze I would LOVE that ;)
Homebody so a time like this is fantastic :D
plungesponge · 41-45, M
quarantine. I'm still working, just from home
I'm essential staff and I'm working from the house.
PowerofStories · 61-69, M
I'm self-employed in a one man company, but considered essential business because my work is for critical infrastructure. I am fortunate to be able to go to work and there is no social distancing risk because I am the only person left in my building.

I like money.

Considering that I work in NYC, I'll pass.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@uncalled4 God, yeah!
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
paid quarantine seems like the way to go
