How did the Covid pandemic affect workers in the tree care industry?

The trees got infected by the COVID positive tree care people and had to take sick leave - that left the tree care people without work so they had to take unemployment leave. :rolleyes:

Now the vaccinated tree care people take a pee on the tree they take care of, that way the tree gets vaccinated too. :p


I am not in the tree care business, but my workplace is seeing an 30% increase of production after having had a 10% drop last year.
What needs to be stressed that we were on lockdown and did not manufacture anything for one whole month last year.

Lot of MFG trying to ramp back up to previous productions levels - but employees are in short supply as well as materials. Material costs are insane and getting worse- with long delays. I do not know if things will ever get back to some semblance of normal -pre pandemic that is. My own biz I am seeing supply cost increases of 25 - 75% and I will bet that 60% of that is GREED.
