Here in TN (and in several other states I've looked at) there's no gray area - trades are specifically listed as essential businesses. Which is good, because we've still got customers getting things back together after the tornado. Plus regular repairs like breaker replacements. John works by himself and the customers all seem to be keeping a sensible distance.
We're starting to see more recovery work being done in the neighborhood. Much smaller crews than would normally be working, of course. But it needs to be done. The homes that aren't total losses have temporary repairs that aren't meant to last for very long. The ones that will be torn down haven't been touched, as those can wait. Makes for a depressing neighborhood, though, which is why I haven't taken a walk even though I
really could use the exercise.
