I have to stay home until I get the results of my COVID-19 test, which I took Friday, two weeks and two days after experiencing the slightest chance of exposure. I can't go back to work till I get the call (today, tomorrow at the latest), and I am an essential health worker. I have the paper to prove it, signed by our clinic's medical director.

We were issued letters from the governor's office as well as our own company stating we were essential; some of the population we care for receives state funding. Like you, I don't currently need it but I still carry them.

I second your GFY to pence.

For a full understanding, watch the great character of Gary Walsh on "Veep" portrayed hilariously by Tony Hale.

Did a little search and found the song "Wipeout" is based on this song. That's what I thought when I heard it.
