Essential businesses: Lax rules put me at risk
How do you report a busy construction site with no indication of who is in charge? You can’t, even though work is going on every day.
And what about essential businesses doing completely unnecessary jobs just because they can? Repairing or replacing a broken heat pump is certainly unavoidable but sending two people out to work in close proximity to install a pump when the house is still under construction?
I belong to two at-risk groups and a trip to the grocery store is dangerous. I also haven’t been able to see my brand new grandson.
The workers we can observe violate our very limited safe space because they might stand in line next to us and spread the virus wherever they go. And this is going on less than a mile from my house.
Just two examples, I’m sure there are many more.
