If you had to choose to work at a hotel with people people who might covid ??? ?

Would you choose to work inside as a security guard or outside as a security guard in the parking lot.  Parking lot have a booth pays $18.00 an hour.  Inside security guard pays $22.00 an hour. If I work inside I would work within Portable Office Cabin Booth.  I am wearing gloves, Surgical mask, N95 mask, face shield. Sanitary wipes, soap, hand sanitizer are bring provided.  90% of the job is watching monitors of all the floors and laundry room.  Once an hour I patrol the laundry room and 6 floors of the building to make sure nobody is sleeping in the hallway roaming the hallway or no noise violations are occurring.

It is a Hotel for displaced or former transient veterans.  Some are former people on drugs or alcohol and some with mental illness.  They come through randomly intervals with a drug sniffing dog the local police department.  I will be armed with 5 cell maglite, pepper spray, stun gun and taser .  I will be wearing body armour and a body video and audio camera.  The shifts will be 12 hours five days a week with 1 hour unpaid lunch break.

I am leaning towards the inside guard that extea $4.00 an hour just is something I can use.  Any reason why I should or shouldn't take the inside job.

    First let's do a little covid education:

    - you become infected with covid from aerosol viral particles, exactly the same as the flu or a common cold.

    - your chance of becoming infected with covid is almost exactly the same as your chance of becoming infected with the common cold.  If someone has covid, their chance of giving it to others is twice is great because of the extended contagion period.  But your chance of getting it is the same as the common cold.

    - you get covid from having "close contact" with people.  This is within 6ft for 15minutes during a 24 hour period.  It sounds like the inside job you would have casual contact with people, not close contact.

    - regardless of how long covid leaves on a surface in a lab (minutes, hours, days or even weeks), inanimate object transmission is a piss pour transmission source.  Although it can theoretically happen, it takes a lot of stars to align in real life to actually occur.

    If you are in an enclosed booth, you can't get covid from others.

    You are probably required to wear a require community used mask while in the booth but wearing the other gear is not going to be a benefit because you physically can't get covid from others while in the booth.

    Please don't wear gloves.  They do more harm than good outside of medical environments.

    Wiping down the common surfaces of the booth when you first arrive for your shift is a good idea but there i no need to continuously clean it.

    It doesn't matter what you are "armed" with.  The residents being former military will be much more skilled than you. 

    - If you are afraid of this, don't work there.
