Coved Shots

[BHunted]

In the older days even the 70's and '80's, companies didn't care if you were sick. Come in or don't get paid. People needed to get paid. Today, seems most tell you to stay home which I agree with. But big companies still like to keep their thumbs on your jugular. My wife works for a very large worldwide company. She's been working from home for several years now. She just told me her company hired an outside company that would insist you send them your proof of your vaccine. I was pist because she did it before telling me. She said either that or I lose my job which is bs. Cause they want to clone her and they can't afford to lose her. I said if everyone stood up and said eff you, they would not force it. Under the contentions they'd be fired? Hah! Doubt it. They can't get people now and the training cycle is waaaay too long. 

This is what's causing the problem. The sheeple are afraid to say no. Why would my wife be a threat to her company where she has not seen an office for years? 

We are both vaccinated but they have no right to force proof. Especially when you are not a threat. 

Too many 'sheeple' and not enough wolves!

I a amazed by the people that know they were exposed and did not stay home, and not just the chicom crap but with the flu. Even when they have a fever they still come to work!

You are talking about two different scenarios here.

I think all of us and the majority of our jobs would agree that you should stay home if running a fever, though at least a couple local hospitals have asked COVID positive staff to come in and work on the COVID floor if they feel like they can work.

But think of how many things, some of them quite critical, would shut down if employees didn’t come in or were sent home after every confirmed exposure, to COVID, the flu, or anything else. At my work we get exposed a few times a week, sometimes we have a heads up and can wear appropriate PPE, sometimes we don’t find out until a day or so later. If we are having signs/symptoms of an illness we can call out or go home. If we think we have COVID we can get tested, but either way we have to come back after 48hrs without symptoms, to exclude loss of taste/smell which can linger for weeks to months.

Based on most of the comments in this thread I’m going to presume most of y’all are in a high risk demographic. For those of you that are I hope you were able to get vaccinated if you wanted to. I personally have had a close friend in his 70’s with COPD and significant heart issues survive COVID, presumably because he was fully vaccinated and got the monoclonal antibody infusions immediately after onset. He is truly a walking breathing example of vaccine success. On the other end of the spectrum I know a very healthy lady in her 30’s that got the vaccine while 7 months pregnant with her second child and lost her baby 3 days later. It was up to that point a heathy pregnancy.  All that being said the vast majority of people that get COVID, to include the D variant, do not get hospitalized. They feel like crap or they don’t, they get past it, and they get on with life. It is a significant threat for some, but it isn’t for most, and I think that fact gets lost on many of those that are most worried about it. I just encourage y’all to keep that in mind when talking with your friends and family that may not seem as concerned about it as you are.
