I'm another worker who definitely can't work from home, although I could see some scenario where I'm the 'outside' person who fetches stuff and leaves it on the doorstep to be handed off inside.
It seems like a good idea to remind ourselves that all that quarantine does at this point is to slow the spread -- it's going to get to you eventually, but if the spread slows down it buys time for medical treatment to be available to all.
In fact it might be a better position to get sick early (before the rush!) when you're likely to get rock-star treatment instead of one bed in a ward of hundreds and triaged if you look worse off. Presuming you come through OK (and remember, ~93-98% do) you're immune and able to take care of others.
I'm a little weirded out that this work medical form asks medical history and for medications I am taking. I did not think they could ask that.
I didn't think they could ask that either.
Besides working in retail I pretty much self isolate. Everyone in the house tends to have hermit tendencies which I guess will serve us well.
Those who live in their parents' basements will rule the world.
this medical form also wants my immunization record with years. I have access to my current record from my dr fron the last 10 years and I have my childhood shot record, but I do not have any idea where my data on getting some of these are.
People need to do those immunization records when they come in as students. The easiest thing is to go to a PCP and have them sign off. But the polio is always a challenge.
For everything except polio, they can do titres to prove that you are vaccinated, even without dates,

The answer seems to be "it's complicated". [link] Personally, I would list what you are comfortable with and leave off anything you feel is none of their dang business.
Immunizations I can understand, but just do the best you can. I'd have zero method of finding out any of my childhood ones. Parents and all the doctors long gone.
If it were me I would list anything life threatening plus allergies and leave it at that - enough information so if I had to be rushed to the ER from work I wouldn't die, but nothing sensitive that wasn't relevant to the job.
I finished the form. I also got the $$ from selling house in TX an I have paid off 3 credit cards. Off to the physical thing.
