Inslee: We are not close, yet, to lifting restrictions

OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Wednesday spelled out conditions for bringing the state economy back online, as six statewide labor and business organizations presented him a detailed approach for one of the hardest hit sectors, the construction industry.

Inslee said the number of people infected with coronavirus must be reduced and the ability to rapidly test, isolate and treat those with COVID-19 must be enhanced before the state can “transition” away from social distancing restrictions that have locked down much of Washington for a month.

“Both of these things have to exist before we can push the go button for that transition,” Inslee said at a news conference.

Inslee’s approach mirrors that of the governors of California and Oregon, the three of whom have agreed to coordinate efforts to reopen their economies and battle the virus.

1. I was told we can go back into the office anytime if we want in a meeting today.

We would need to wear masks and have our temperatures taken upon entering the building. Most of my co-workers do not want to return. I might. I'm pretty confident that my workplace is doing the utmost it can to prevent outbreaks. They started taking precautions even before the official lockdowns started.

On edit: I should add that my section is empty right now and it takes me 7 minutes to get from my door to my desk.
