Reaction to Covid vs Covid itself?

Curious.....

I’ve not missed a single day of work since January 3rd.  Seen my share of death and injury but none from Cov-19. Mostly car wrecks. 

It seems the less crowded the streets become the more severe the carnage..  Made a terrible one yesterday involving a teen that attends a local university.😔

 I’m looking forward to retiring.

Rick, we have argued on this topic so I will preface my question by saying upfront that it isn’t meant to challenge you or get any specific response out of you. I am honestly curious.

Has the risk of infection changed how you respond to emergencies? Did the department institute new safety measures to protect your or victims? 
My assumption would be yes in some way but also seems like it would be difficult in some cases. 
Thanks in advance for your response.

Yes. It changed nearly every shift for a week or two but we worked the kinks out.

Luckily, I and my management team were moved to the main hospital campus to assist there since they closed our facility on March 17th.  Due to the shut down of elective procedures and out patient services, I have seen many hospital workers either furlough or had their hours reduced.  I do not know anyone personally that has contracted the virus.  We re-opened our facility this morning under strict guidelines.

gotta change my answer....a student of mine and her mom have it, according to the mother.  says it's like having the flu, but a bit more tiresome.
