start leaking. I quit cleaning them.

Yeah, you can clean them every year to help lengthen that time. We have hard
water as well so I put in a water softener. I like it better anyway and I don't
have to worry about that problem.

My plumber says the large electric tankless aren't worth having. I have 2 gas
units in series at my house. They work together to sense demand and fire up
when needed. We have the little tankless ones (3) at my shop and they work well.

I was looking into tankless water heaters for some personal projects...
electricity really doesn't get you much heat compared to gas options. At
standard faucet flow rate (2GPM) the below would have a temperature rise of
~15-20 degrees F. Real heat requirements are more in the range of 240V 60A+.

When this is all over, maybe consider a point-of-use on-demand hot water
heater for the garage sink. The rest of the world has used them forever, not
sure why they have only recently become popular here. Even just for washing
the bird poop off reclaimed radios, a little hot water helps.
For washing hands, I don’t think hot water is mandatory. I like the
foaming hand soaps in the pump bottles, if the only water was cold, I’d still
wash my hands.

Thats what I mean by lysol stocked, it will be sprayed down. Recovered
equipment will be placed in quarantine.
I dont even know if we can legally shut down the bathroom, but the
purpose is to get the guys in and then out the door, poop at home, come to
work, grab gear, grab van and go.
We dont have hot water, so wash station is about pointless, but they can
wash in the sink basin in the garage though. (we dont have hot water because
there is so little use and our facility is so large the old plumbing will
destroy a standard hot water heater in short time.Its a constant battle keeping
the urinal valve cleared. we do have a bathroom with hot water near the living
quarters, but it requires traversing the whole place)

Do you have a sink in the garage area for washing hands, with soap and
paper towels? I still view handwashing as my #1 protection against contracting
or spreading the virus. I guess liberal use of alcohol based hand sanitizer
would be the backup plan.
I know the bathroom sounds like a risk for contamination, but I’m not
sure that’s true. Wash your hands before and after, use paper towels, and the
sink and toilet can be sanitized pretty easily with some Clorox spray cleaner.
Getting spread by clothes seems a very low probability scenario. Before I
worried about that, I’d be wiping equipment down with disinfecting wipes before
leaving them for the tech or getting them back, since those are hard surfaces
touched with your hands.

So got an update
Anybody curious, this is for Illinois.
IDPH hotline 18008893931
option 4 I was in contact with a positive case but have no symptoms
Continue normal activity if contact was not within 6 feet for more than
a few minutes
If there are no symptoms and there was not contact within 6 feet for
more than a few minutes an employer CANNOT facilitate an asymptomatic test
The followup on the customer, Im not so mad now. He works in a office
where a lady tested positive, close proximity. So he was an asymptomatic
precautionary test, he met the criteria because he was within 6 feet for more
than a few minutes. This place had another positive last week supposedly.
thankfully they are closed for sanitation. We will be avoiding people that work
there.
Given the issue, we are closing all our communal areas, no coffee pot,
not fridge, no restroom use. Primary installer will operate out of the garage
and only use the garage door, he wont enter the work area. hes set up for
remote now and will be on call when hes not actively on jobs. We would send the
work truck home but he doesnt have a garage and we are already seeing an
increase in vehicular burglary. Owner will stay remote. Other tech will be
remote with his van in his garage. There is a large workbench in the garage
where inventory will be available for resupply. It will be lysol stocked at
night.
Im a dirty bastard so ill be using the primary workspace to do builds
and all that. if im not building or hanging, ill be home.
I will have techs meet me on build sites as required. We will have as
minimal contact as is realistic. If its just 911 guy for tower work, they wont
leave the vehicle. We will go back to me humping stuff up grain legs and towers
for a while if its reasonable weight.
Thank god we dont have to shut stuff down for 2 weeks every time some
pauper approaches us. Techs were given clear instruction that if the customer
comes outside, they are to get back in the work truck and if customer wont stop
approaching, just to leave the site, we will recover equipment later

Doesn't matter what you touch as long as you wash your hands after
any potential contact. You could stick your finger up an infected person's
nose, and as long as you washed your hands, you are cool.
I am not advocating that (just in case someone misinterprets what

face with an infected hand/glove and he's on the merry-go-round.. Touch his

out he was already on quarantine wednesday, im going to probably lose my stuff.
He answered negative to the questionnaire. The tech has been anal about this
since day one. We went no touch last monday officially. he had no contact
closer than 10 feet. Never went inside. sanitizes constantly. But we have no
choice but to go down a tech for 14 day quarantine. We are closed tomorrow for
a video-conference to regroup. Tuesday we will probably be sanitizing
everything.
there is little to no chance the tech caught it. he is
writing down arrival to exit to help him remember if there is any chance of
contamination.
We have to try to get the health department to give us clear
guidance on company operations over the next 2 weeks.
If this guy lied on the questionnaire ...... Ill probably end
up in jail. We have too much going on to be a man down, much less a whole
company down. If he got my installer sick, and lied on the questionnaire,
kunkgflu will not be his primary concern anymore

The story leaves you both hopeful and pessimistic. He
got some treatments other than what the hospital wanted to use, but only
through extensive intervention from doctor friends and people who read about
him online. He did recover. Some of the nonstandard treatments may have
worked. But you or I probably wouldn’t have gotten them. You realize how
difficult it is to get something like remdesivir given the approvals needed.
And the push to intubate rather than have you breathe the virus on hospital
staff, even if it’s maybe not the best treatment. And how doctors and
hospitals were slow to realize this disease was different.

interesting to me because it's bringing to light the fact that COVID-19 is
apparently not what people are dying from, it's the secondary ARDS-like
(Accute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) condition. There is also some debate
within the medical community whether ventilators are helping or hurting. Maybe
what they need to do is just supply oxygen.
