So my second job is trying to rush me to come back in because they are short staffed because people have covid.

It's so un-smart. I told them no.. I'm not coming in until I'm sure I'm not spreaing it. The "5 day CDC guideline" is only under optimal conditions.


RIght now day 5 after test, I still have minor cough/congestion... but no fever. ..





It's just dumbass to ask somebody to come into work who you know has covid because you need workers? Like WTF?



I've only had this job a few weeks but this tells me a LOT about the employer I am working for.

It’s a pandemic. That kind of thing has always happened during pandemics. The word quarantine comes from the word for 40, which was he number of days people had to be isolated away from the population before they were allowed into public. Quarantine is not for the sick. Quarantine is the period of isolation required to wait to see if someone is infected.

Quote:

The practice of quarantine, as we know it, began during the 14th century in an effort to protect coastal cities from plague epidemics. Ships arriving in Venice from infected ports were required to sit at anchor for 40 days before landing. This practice, called quarantine, was derived from the Italian words quaranta giorni which mean 40 days

Quarantine is a public health measure that is perfectly legal in just about every society on earth.

It’s shocking to you because you have never seen it before and you lack a historical perspective

Unfortunately we’ve discovered that there are just too many selfish assholes out there and the honor system doesn’t work.
