I was at a Kwik-Trip store at about 4 AM this morning, there was a lady sanitizing the gas pumps. Kwik-Trip is the northern equivalent of the 7-Eleven stores, and they employ about 30,000 people. We have two of them in town.
I said to the woman "May I ask you a question", and she said "Sure. The question was this: "You've worked here awhile. Have there been any cases in the two stores, where an employee has actually contacted the coronavirus?"
She said "No, there hasn't." She also said that out of all of the stores, only 53 people have been diagnosed with it. That's 0.17% of the entire employees.
Now you would think that in an environment where you come in contact with hundreds of people every day, convenience stores like Kwik-Trip would be heavily-infected. Many of the customers don't even wear a mask, and the cashiers handle money without wearing gloves.
The same with Walmart. An employee told me a few weeks ago that nobody at the store has been diagnosed with the virus.
Does this seem a little odd?
