The masks are a huge issue imo. We had a dr here pass out a week or so ago while driving because he had been wearing one so much that he wasnt getting enough oxygen.As someone who is back to work at a manufacturing plant that just came back online after 4 weeks of full shutdown (not Ford but rather airplanes). I can tell you that we are doing all the same things. Only every other cubical is available for use, we have to wear masks all the time, temperature screenings before you enter the building, those actually building the assemblies have to be 6 feet apart or they have to wear full PPE masks (not just fabric masks) and even then can only be together for less than 10mins, the breakrooms now only have single seat tables, the line for the timeclocks is very long since they have to maintain 6ft separation, etc.
It definitely sucks being here. The masks make it hard to breathe, fog up my glasses, and I end up with a massive headache at the end of the day from the head irritation and lack of oxygen from breathing in my own CO2 discharge. The temp screenings haven't been that bad for me since I get to work after the hoard of technicians, so I don't have to wait for that. The 6ft separation is good practice, but impractical to maintain at all times.
We are at a very slow rate of production right now, hoping to ramp up to full pre-Covid rate by end of June, but who knows. I'd imagine most of these safety measure will remain in place for the rest of the summer, if not until a vaccine or heard immunity is achieved (so next year at some point probably)...
