Should ‘Social Distancing’ Include Seattle Home Service Calls?
[Seattle private home heads have projects requiring professional trades assistance i.e.,various vocations of contractors. A concern.]
Our Reality
If we live in Seattle, we may want to have more sense of urgency during these slow times. As of this moment, Seattle is documented as the Covid-19 epicenter of the State of Washington. Of the only two counties, King and Snomish (the latter just crossing over to 1900 confirmed cases), it is very likely that the warm weather will see more. This is practically as certain as the resurgence of troublesome flies as the weather becomes more accommodating.
There are over 5,000 [as of 4/21/2020 (5,360) up from 4,500 a week or so ago] confirmed corona virus cases in Seattle’s King County alone. There are words of encouragement for slowly returning to normal. Be it as it may, this sector of the pandemic is not going to soon disappear altogether. It has proven to be the most aggressive among infectious diseases ever known. Seattleites who are not infected are at highest risk of contracting it from those who are.

Emphasizing the Danger
Furthermore, we may want to acknowledge that the disease is not that particular about what people do for a living or the offices they have attained. What is paramount is that there are more people with this affliction. Going farther to speak to the subject of home service calls by others in the building trades [diverse types of contractors], then it is reasonably plausible that a representative segment has it. By no means is this intentionally mentioned as a suggestion to avoid them.

The primary objective is to share about the risk factor ignoring the indiscriminate nature of Covid-19 in relation to its heightened presence in the Seattle area of the state. There is a dreadful numeric relativity between the unbelievably high number of those who are infected and the potential for these numbers to rise exponentially when in close proximity to those who are not.
Summary
Seattle residents are at higher risk from service calls, irrespective of duration, for special projects for which skilled, reliable and efficient trades personnel are reasonably required. However, in light of the real threat this insufferable disease poses, Seattleites may want to postpone the non-critical projects indefinitely. Remember, there is no vaccine (yet).
