Our company is seeing a dramatic drop in business - fuel delivery - but down east the grocery division is busier than ever. Many drivers have been transferred between divisions, but out here that's not an option. There have been a number of voluntary lay-offs.
My job in Sparwood continues as long as the mines stay open. Stringent isolation protocols are being observed as well as daily screening before entry. I'm pretty isolated at the hotel and the place has never been cleaner.
But because I am concerned about the possible transmission of the virus to the valley, I've pretty much stayed home on my days off. I get out for a jog every day and make only one trip to the grocery store for each rotation.
I'm definitely catching up on my reading list.
