Well, I'm off to work tomorrow after a 2-month leave of absence.

It's a factory in a northern burb of NYC. Things are not nearly as good as I would like them to be, but it looks like they're as good as they're gonna get. The plant has actually been in operation the whole time (we make infection control products). I hear fairly good things about the use of PPE and distancing from several sources, but I'll just have to see for myself.

I've been tested for an active infection and got a "not found." I did the antibody test on Friday and am expecting a result this week. It's a long shot, but if I've got the antibodies, it would be like winning the lottery. Definitely worth an investment of a blood draw.

Just in: negative on the antibodies. Too bad.

It's always possible that I'll show up and the place will be FUBAR and that's it for me and them. I'm hopeful that won't happen.

More info as I get it.

Too bad about the antibody test, but we deal with what we have to.

Best of luck to you. Hell, just getting a real paycheck should be some kind of reason to be a little happy.
