That's actually better than I thought it would be.  In budget planning and organizational execution, a 5-8% absense rate of illness nature is expected and planned for.

A little off-topic but just wonderin'...

Have folks here been taking any kind of "precautions" about handling the mail after it arrives?

I do wash my hands immediately after handing any package or envelope that is delivered.

I'm not convinced that is a major method of transmission—large crowds in confined spaces tends to be the strongest correlation right now and most evidence suggests the virus must be inhaled to infect—but it is a precaution worth taking.

I have taken my outgoing mail to a postal box that has an open chute, rather than a pull down door, to send out my mail.
I don't have to contact the surface of a handle that way.
