So far, not much has changed for me.
As oil and gas, I'm categorized as "essential to life" (damn you people and your love of electricity and warmth), so Im still at work every day.
Less traffic, which is nice.
No nitrile gloves or masks available anywhere, so yay for terrible chemicals on my hands and weird dust in my lungs when what little I have left of both run out.
Food is a little more difficult. Thankfully a few local places that are more home style cooking are open, so I'm good there. For now. I really wish I would have stocked up on MREs before this. Live and learn.
Lots of materials and supplies that we use are in short supply, so learning that we're going to have to hoard a bit when this is over. And make due with what we have for now.
I've been sleeping at the shop to keep an eye on things. We have explosives and very expensive tooling on site, so we're a target if someone is looking to do something egregiously stupid, or wants expensive shit to try to sell. I don't sleep well at night and wake up from every "bump" that comes from the garages. Shortages tend to make people a little unpredictable, so a break in is a concern. My shop is in the middle of nowhere, so law enforcement cannot be relied upon unless someone is there to make the call. Then they have a 5-45 min response time. I've put a lot of work into my fence and make repairs to the chain link, barbed wire, and razor wire to deter folks. All that's done so far is piss off a lot of turkey that were dumb enough to dive bomb into the yard. Jokes on them if I run out of food. They're livestock now.
I've had to kill a LOT of rodents over this. My shop had mice, occasional muskrats (large creek behind the building), and bats. This being a rodent borne disease, they're all dead now. Sad to kill the bats, but I'm not taking chances.
I'm doing what I can to stop spread from myself and reduce the chance of becoming infected. So nitrile gloves (while I sti have them) and constant wiping crap down. I got to find out how filthy a gas pump handle is by wiping them down with clorox wipes before fueling. Gross.
The oil industry is taking our worst beating since the 80s. Many companies are running out of work. Many more yet have nothing on their books for the remainder of the year. Many companies were on life support when this started, and are not expected to make it much passed April.
As of today, we've seen an average 30-50% reduction in force since January, and more cuts are expected as the barrel price stays in the shitter. This is probably the worst time to have this happen as well. We're at a generational hand off as far as knowledge is concerned, as many of the retirement age guys leaving for retirement got in after the downturn in the 80s. So most of the old timers are leaving for good now. Which means we lose hundreds of years of combined experience, and many of these guys don't have anyone to replace them, or their protégés were laid off before they were. Already starting to see the effects of this with essential parts and technology drying up.
This is going to be a fight to come back out of this, and for petroleum, will likely take us at least a decade to fix.
