I am honestly hoping that things get canceled with DH's side for Christmas.
Older Brother works in a warehouse store that has public walking around them whle working so unknown about masks even though we are under a mandate.
One kid works in a grocery store again not sure about masks especially since the mandate here states if you can not wear one for medical reasons you are excused. Not everyone is doing what I do and using curbside if they can not wear a mask for health reasons in order to protect others.
Sister's employer is requiring everyone work in the office even with one person having been diagnosed with covid instead of everyone working from home for two weeks minimium after they were exposed.
One family member does maintance in low income housing mainly vacated units to get them ready for the next tenant but still some in occupied units
2 family members work in the medical field
Younger brother's family is honestly the safest along with DH's parents.
I was fine being around my family for Thanksgiving due to the fact that we live on the same larger property and are back and forth between houses anyways. DH, brother and my dad have been working on getting the hogs processed and into the freezers for the past couple of weeks in a very tight space.
Sister in law works in a resturant but they are being strict about masks for employees and customers even telling people if you can not wear a mask with the exception of eating and drinking while seated at a table they will be happy to let you order a to go meal and will deliver it to your vehicle.
Niece and nephew are in school with block scheduling so they attend their morning classes one week and their afternoon classes the next week on an alternating week schedule in order to reduce the amount of time students are passing in the halls. Masks are also required with students who can not wear masks for medical reasons for the most part taking virtual classes. There are a few exceptions like band class where most of the students need to be unmasked to play their instruments but those students are arriving at the school when the class bell rings and are showing up in class up to 5 minutes after the start bell and are leaving the building 5 minutes prior to the release bell so they are not in the halls at the same time as the other students.
Sister's employer is strict about masks for clients and staff. No mask no service plain and simple.
Brother can do 95% of his work from home dispatching trucks for the lumber yard. He is going in and working in an office in the back because the internet connection is better there than in his house. The remaining 5% of his work is in the yard checking the stock which he can do solo as the supervisor of that department. So little to no interactions with anyone outside the family.
DH works in a warehouse where even without social distancing rules they are socially distanced most of the time due to the carts they are using to put the orders on being 8 feet in length and 4 feet wide. With the exception of the end aisles which are 10 ft wide so they can pass all aisle in the warehouse which except for a couple of lobbies are closed to the public. The breakroom has had the 8 ft round tables reduced so they are no closer than 6 ft from edge to edge and only one chair is at each table. Rules are posted that only one person can be at the vending machines or at the fridge and microwave and sink area of the kitchen. They have sent home employees without pay who violate this rule and have made it clear that there are cameras and they are saving the tape. This has been approved by the union so no going to them and filing a complaint because you will get no where. It is mainly the guys in their 20s who are violating this. The older ones like DH who are closer to their 50s are keeping their distance and greeting to co workers are a hi name from 6 plus feet away. DH is doing all of our shopping that is not curbside pick ups that I can do and is wearing a mask when doing so.
My girls are homeschooled and we have limited to the number of outside activities we are doing this year. The few activities they are going to are all masks required for all participants and spectators.
