This is what my friend who lived in illinois said he was told about his engineering job too, they do stuff for commercial buildings.
I said that to him, I flat out said nothing is being built right now.I didn't say this but I thought the DOT hitting bid deadlines is pretty much a moot point right now and there's no way they'll hold any contactor to completion dates
Everyone getting it over the period of several months isn't a big deal. Everyone getting it over the period of a couple weeks is.
And murders. Hopefully.The thought crossed my mind that with less people driving, car collisions could go down.

I think this isn’t comparable to 9/11 in any way. That was USA versus something. This is something you can’t see.I think there's some stuff out there how crime rates went down (at least for a while) post-crisis situations like 9-11.
We'll see.

I know the owner of a small civil engineering firm and when I asked him about closing down he told me he'd consider his business essential because the DOT can't wait for highway design plans.
But even at several months the health systems are going to be near 100% with zero break. Don't get a car accident, have a heart attack, or anything acute...Everyone getting it over the period of several months isn't a big deal. Everyone getting it over the period of a couple weeks is.
A shelter-in-place order wouldn't shut down the business, just move it to work from home. I work in the same field, but a larger office and I've been prepared to go WFH when needed.It is in the public's best interest for transportation infrastructure projects to continue being upgraded or built to make traveling safer, even now. I work in the same industry and TxDOT is continuing with all project schedules. Their employees who can are working from home.
Our small office has been business as usual. Just trying to distance ourselves from each other (6 of us) which isn't much of a problem.
The death rate in the US is already plummeting as we increase testing. After the CDC has collected data over the next few months what does everyone predict the death rate to end up being? Looking back on this a year from now will allow us to see whether we overreacted or if it was indeed necessary.
A: Over 2%
B: 1-2%
C: <1%
D: <0.5%

No offense, but we should overreact. It's killing people and damaging organs of those who survive. If you don't overreact and take it seriously, you're putting people's lives in danger because of money.The death rate in the US is already plummeting as we increase testing.

Plenty of construction projects are continuing right now. Next week who knows.I said that to him, I flat out said nothing is being built right now.
Ya I meant future projects, that he is planningPlenty of construction projects are continuing right now. Next week who knows.
