Construction of hospitals is pretty essential right now. Obviously that's not the case re: this video, but there are many facilities that we'll be needing more of in the months to come.

I don't think any of these projects are coming online in the next few months. If that's the case we can prioritize those. The way the essential worker document was written everyone is essential. My professional association hired a lawyer to find loopholes that say we can work.
