We lost a primary sight in July during the storms. This is a remote
site feeding around 80 customers and has been a shitshow getting back
online. They were patient for a bit. We've hit wall after wall, new
lease delays, 5ghz interference, multiple licensed links, wrong
equipment, new hardware failures, electricians running 220 to 110
circuits, contractors wife kidnapping a kid, if it could go wrong it
did. The town has had meetings over this and we last promised to be
production ready and problem free 2 weeks ago. At this point they're
shopping our lease probably. We have a multi year breakout on the
lease and can fix it, but in the interim they'll probably colocate a
competitor. Honestly, I cant blame them.

Can you clarify what you mean by "80 customer site loss"?
Does this mean you'll miss out on potentially 80 new customers or
you'll lose 80 current customers if you don't do said work?
If it's 80 new customers waiting for service, most will wait an
extra 2 weeks if you explain COVID has taken out a guy. Some may
go with a competitor but if they suck, they'll be back to you
eventually. We had people wait up to 5 weeks for an install when
we were backed up from the COVID rush for service between
March-August.

So, I have a probable covid positive contractor.
I know the answer here, I'm just sounding it out.
I'm behind as fuck with this guys work. I worked with him last
weekend, I've been sick with harvest flu since a couple days
before, his daughter tested positive the next day, his wife
and other daughter the day after that and he got sick
wednesday. Everybody is over symptoms (wife and daughter still
have no taste or smell, but that lasts a long time)
My harvest flu symptoms havent changed, not worried about me.
Hes wanting to catch up behind work saturday. I'm usually very
risk tolerant, and my house has been directly exposed a ton of
times, so I know it's not as easily spread as they say.
Its mid harvest, a farmer getting this shit right now could be
devastating.
Its gonna cost us alot if he doesnt get caught up, a
substantial amount. Like 80 customer site loss substantial. We
arent big, that's more than 5 percent.
My boss respects me after all these years, if I make a call,
knowing the costs like this, he will back my call, but it
burns all those years of trust.
Theres like a .0001 percent chance he would spread it, zero
direct interaction. But hes present at grain elevators mid
harvest. Grain dust will drop anything airborne like a rock.
It takes an exposure to a high viral count to even get
symptomatic.
Tell me I'm wrong to push his work out another week or 2
