Here is one of the email I got. this one is from McDonald's. I really like this email because it gets to the point. We all should learn from it.

Dear Kenichi,

Along with you, we are closely watching the impact COVID-19 is having on our local communities. I am immensely proud of how our franchisee, suppliers and company partners have mobilized quickly to protect the well-being of our employees and customers, which is our number one priority.

We recognize many of you rely on us to provide food and beverage choices for you and your families. We take that responsibility very seriously. We have some of the highest standards of cleanliness and are closely working with national and local government and health authorities to ensure we are taking all the right steps.

In partnership with our franchisees, we are implementing additional precautionary measures to safeguard the well-being of our customers, crew and communities:

Encouraging all restaurants to move to Drive-Thru, Delivery and Walk-In Take-Out

Encouraging restaurants to close down all dine-in seating, including suspending the use of self-service beverage bars and kiosks

Supplying sanitizer for employees and customers who visit our restaurants

Encouraging employees to wash hands even more frequently than normal

Increasing surface cleaning and sanitizing across the restaurant in high-impact areas

Closing all Play Place attractions

McDonald’s has always been a home base for our communities. With 14,000+ restaurants across the country, we have a long legacy of being a dependable neighbor in times of need. Through this unprecedented and challenging time for families and individuals, McDonald’s will do our part to continue to be a place people can count on to deliver a familiar, comforting and delicious experience, no matter where they are.

Thank you for your patience and loyalty during this time and always.

Joe Erlinger
President, McDonald's USA

'add fuel to the fire'

Mar

16

Today Governor announced that all restaurants in Washington State will be closed except for take out and delivery. I personally think it should be individuals' decisions not the governor's. It just 'add fuel to the fire'.

If you are scared, you should not go to the restaurant. Just stay home. That is your right. If you ignore it, however stupid it may be, it is your right as well.

-------- - --------

Definition of 'add fuel to the fire'

The phrase 'add fuel to the fire' means when you do or say something that makes a miserable situation even worse. 'Adding fuel to the fire' means to make a situation or conflict intensify, especially via provocative comments.

Coronavirus : This is what I think!!!

Mar

9

Here are some things I try to understand.

(1) It is a virus (regardless of where it started) not a group of people or a race.

(2) No need to panic. If I contract the virus, I will try my best to get better. Also I will do my best not to spread the virus.

(3) If someone I know gets infected, I will wish him/her well. And I will stay a away. Sorry.

(4) I will not use this situation to profit or make money. Have N95 mask for $95.00 ... Just kidding.

(5) I will not trust everything I hear from Internet, Media and Politicians. President Lincoln said "Do not trust everything you hear on Internet."

(6) If I can help someone in need, I will do my best without risking my own health. If I get sick, I cannot help anyone.

(7) I will not spread any rumor. I will not bad mouth anyone who gets infected. I will not scream "Fire" in the crowded theater.

(8) If I die from the virus ... I am dead ... I suffer no more. Nobody lives forever.

(9) This is not the end of the world. If it is, there is nothing I can do anyway. So why worry?

Can you add anything?

140 Million ... What is this number?

Mar

7

Do you know what this number mean?

140,000,000

This is the number of people die every year.
That is over 38,000 people die every day.

Coronavirus killed abut 4,000 in last 3 months.
That is about 45 people everyday.

Coronavirus is a tragedy but number does not justify the panic behavior.
Let's be healthy and wash hands, stay away from unnecessary gathering.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Actually, Washington State where I live accounts for 11 out of 12 in total deaths in the US. Japan so far has 6 deaths and another 6 from Diamond Princess Cruise Ship.

China has the most cases and most deaths ... but the problem is I do not believe the number they are saying.

AT PSPinc, we have announced following policy.

If you would like to work remotely due to being sick, please work with your manager for approval and set the necessary guidelines on remote work.

Please alert your manager or HR@PSPInc.com if you or other household members have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 (coronavirus). You will then be asked to stay away from PSP for 14 days and we will try to work with you if you are able to work remotely.

If you have a fever, you are to go home and get well. Notify your manager and HR@PSPInc.com.

Attached is a notice for preventive care and this will be posted in both the 1404 and 1402 buildings.

If you or a household member travels to any country with a travel advisory 3 or 4, please inform your manager and HR@PSPInc.com. You may be asked to stay home for up to two weeks even if you are not showing any symptoms.

We all have co-workers, household members, family members or friends in the higher risk categories. We want to do our best to minimize risk to all those in our community.

Please use the available disinfecting wipes to cleanse your desk and associated work areas at the beginning and end of your shifts. We will try to disinfect common areas on a daily basis.

Please ask if you need any additional information or have questions. We have been gathering information and can give you additional COVID-19 (coronavirus) handouts we have gathered. Just contact HR@PSPInc.com.
