Coronavirus Thread - Topic

I guess the good news is your bosses care enough to get a professional cleaning.
we still dont even have a mask mandate at work lol.
Just "go home if you have a fever and come back when its gone" with 66% of your pay if you have proof of testing positive, and 0% if you left but test negative.

Hope you're safe though.

That is so sad/bad because false negative rate on the tests is not negligible

It's such a headache having to explain the importance of false negatives and false positives to people over and over.

I know, one of the 2 people in my actual office (we've had a few over the entire building, but only 2 in our office) tested negative the entire 2 weeks she was gone (4 times) while everyone else in her house was testing positive, and they were all basically dying for a week or more.

I photoshopped her test to say positive for her so she could get reimbursed with our HR lol.

Well gentlemen I've been exposed to a coworker who tested positive at one of my jobs for the second time. Apparently they are closing early today for professional cleaning and have to put staff on a quarantine list again. This is a bar and restaurant based primarily in California with only the one location in Las Vegas and I don't fathom a scenario where they do not go out of business because of COVID. I am super curious as to the amount of resources spent correcting COVID cases within the American workforce. It's got to be a mind blowing number.

Only a matter of time before I get it if I don't have it already.

Post office in Ontario had over 120 cases and they don't have to close down or clean such bs
