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
Additionally, there is real evidence that the pandemic spread will lessen naturally as weather warms up. It's all about buying time right now.
It will flare up again in the fall, but hopefully therapies and treatments will have been considered at that point so we don't do this all over again. Americans will be resistant to repeated or open ended periods of great restriction.
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 think this isn’t comparable to 9/11 in any way. That was USA versus something. This is something you can’t see.
Yeah I know...it was what first came to mind and the concern is it will have the opposite situation with this since resources are going to be depleted.
Just got a picture text from a buddy who's aunt is driving home to Des Moines from Madison. Looks like a convoy of military vehicles is headed the same way.
I know that's not unusual in terms of something you might see occasionally, but given the timing it could mean a more substantial shutdown.

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.
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...
Feel for the Docs and Nurses...even with a flat curve their next 6-12 months is going to be non-stop.
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.
Also when you consider the overall timeline of most projects, even a month delay due to something like this is pretty minimal.
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%
A: Over 2%
B: 1-2%
C: <1%
D: <0.5%
I'd need to see what happens vs. all of these new positive tests too before anything is 'plummeting'.
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.
Plenty of construction projects are continuing right now. Next week who knows.
