One time I called in sick on a Thursday to meet someone at the beach, got sunburned, and had to call in sick on Friday so the boss wouldn’t see. Sigh… Those were the days. Being retired has taken some of the fun out of life.
Hi, just a point because, well sometimes I just get a bit OCD preocupied. THE VIRUS is called SARS-Cov-2. The disease casued by the virus is COVID-19. So you’re not stopping the virus COVID-19, you’re stopping or slowing the disease COVID-19. You are slowing or arresting the infection rate from the virus SARS-Cov-2. Again, sorry, just wanted that out there. I know what everyone means. I can now go a few more days without correcting anybody again.
The company my son works for has a remote call center manager require a sick employee to come to work. There are now 4 employees in the hospital with it.
If you are vulnerable and you are isolated, then you are just as safe whether or not anyone else is also isolated. The quarantining of the healthy was misguided and will do far more damage then the situation warranted. Sweden was right (and even the WHO, which has not covered itself with glory in this after refusing to pass on Taiwan’s warnings instead of parroting the ChiCom party line of “no human to human transmission” has now admitted this, and has even described their approach as a “model”).And just to make it even more interesting, NYC has been identified as the outbreak source for most of the rest of the U.S., the same N.Y.C. whose health commissioner and mayor said there was nothing to worry about. Of course, in the case of the vast majority of the population, that was true, but for nursing homes (who later were forced to take the infected by order of King Cuomo) and other concentrations of the elderly and infirm, it was, sadly, not so. If the Northeast had been placed under a travel ban, much of the rest of the country would have had their cases greatly reduced, but given the reactions of the Left to Trump’s travel ban, the reaction to a suggestion like this can only be imagined.

A throwback one, but probably what she would be saying today also, regardless of the virus situation.

If more people would have called in sick rather then go to work like they were expected to, do you think we could have got a handle on this sooner?

Against corporate idiocy, the gods themselves contend in vain.
