Me too. Talk about slim, once they get passed the podium, this should ride pretty quick. It will add needed height to that section.

The developers paid the in lieu of fee to the City instead of having onsite affordable housing. It appears this one was only allowed to finish their foundation pours.

Look at all that social distancing happening at this essential job.

Sorry, I love construction photos, but this is gross.

I detect some of the workers wearing masks, but hard to tell with most of them.

Yep, it's bad bad bad. I'm as much an enthusiast as the next guy but all of this should stop immediately, and completely.

There is a big sign at the worker entrance telling them to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). If they are all wearing PPE, they should all be fine. That said, I can't tell from the photo which are (or are not) wearing it.

It's a blurry photo, but I can definitely make out masks on all but a few workers that are facing the camera. It's not an essential business by any means, but I guess Abbott thinks otherwise.

For large projects like that, schedules have to be met. And it affects all the material suppliers down line.
The business of America is business, and people working. Not hunkering down. The nation did not fold up completely during the Spanish Flu pandemic.

I have to wear a mask at work. I have to say, it is very uncomfortable during an 8 hour day. I'm constantly tugging at it and adjusting it. Not to mention, it makes my glasses steam up. And I'm not outside in the heat busting my ass like most of these construction workers are day after day. I have to admit, I mostly wear mine under my chin when no one is looking.

That’s because there weren’t any antibiotics to treat the bacterial infection.
