    We are both smokers, and my wife has had gastric bypass surgery. She can't drink enough water to stay hydrated if she does go down with a flu/covid/etc.

    Even healthy young people are dying. Olympic gold medal swimmer got it and said it's the sickest he's ever been.

    Being a heavy smoker isnt a good thing, with this virus. Also, your wife's medical issues are a concern. Sorry to hear.

    I’m a Financial Advisor so deemed essential. I am working out of the house as of Monday but will need to go to office to sign documents if necessary

    Yep, essential. Right now I wish I wasn't. LOL. Seriously, I couldn't quit if I wanted to.

    Looking at the roads around Houston, it looks like many many people are "Essential". Or, more to the point "Essentially need a job, and a paycheck".
    The roadways are getting more and more crowded.

    As long as they are keeping their distance I think this is a good thing.

    Chaff, Fodder, Expendable, or what ever word you wish.
    Then again, I'm not scared. I feel sorry for those who have to go home to relatives, with medical issues.

    I'm essential but can work from home. Most important difference with non-essential is, here in the Netherlands at least, when you're considered essential you can bring your children to daycare.

    Try flowers, a good wine, and some good Italian food. Oh, candles and a hot bath too. Then, let's see who is miraculously "Essential" .

    Some of our jobs are essential. WE are expendable.
