Although not directly related to annulments, here is a message from Brotherhood of locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.  Might need a cup of coffee while reading long statement.

Thanks, rrman.

My takeaway. Management must:

1) encourage instead of discourage stay-home-if-sick

2) rehire furloughed people to replace those off sick and to take necessary steps sanitizing the workplace (everything from cabs to bunkhouses)

This is a microcosm including yes, increased costs that must somehow be borne/paid-for.
