Default Guess who is on quarantine AGAIN!

If you guessed "Mick", you're right. One of the employees at my wife's bank failed their morning health screening this morning. My wife is FREAKING OUT!

We don't have any details on who it is, and when they were last in the bank, but several folks were on vacation last week, so if we get lucky, it could be as short as 5 days. Here we go again . . .

Edited because apparently, I used non-PC wording in the first try.

If everyone in the bank and entering the bank is wearing a mask, why quarantine? You can't get covid if everyone wears a mask.

My wife and found out today that my daughter (33 yrs old) got it, and lost her sense of taste and smell. She never wear a mask unless it was required to enter an establishment.

Odds of getting covid if you...

Wear a mask - 50/50
Wash your hands regularly and wear a mask - 50/50
Use hand sanitizer, wash your hands, and wear a mask - 50/50
Socially distance by at least 6 feet, use hand sanitizer, wash your hands, and wear a mask - 50/50
Work from home, socially distance by at least 6 feet, use hand sanitizer, wash your hands, and wear a mask - 50/50
Dine outside only, work from home, socially distance by at least 6 feet, use hand sanitizer, wash your hands, and wear a mask - 50/50

...and so on.

California has a new law which requires employers to notify everyone anytime there is a confirmed case of COVID or an exposure to same, and everyone involved has to quarantine for 14 days. We got our first such memo back in March, then a second one in the fall. Suddenly over Christmas break we'd had 4 more such incidents. Our company is small (~90 people) - at this rate I don't know if we'll be able to keep operating...

Now imagine if you had just let it run its course and had many people out for 30 days and returned by now, and the second wave 30 more, and the third wave(maybe) 30 more. There would always be 60 people there working. We had 13 out of 26 out at one time. For about two weeks it was rough, but now we've all had it and we are working like normal.

The stop/start crap just extends the end game indefinitely.

Eventually they will abandon the rules and just let everybody keep working. That's already starting to happen here if they need you on site badly enough. We also have people from the customer's QA department flying into town to witness some product testing, and none of those people have to quarantine at all.

I’m exposed to about 25-35 people a day with about half of them not wearing masks.
Has to be a 100% chance that I have been exposed to a Covid positive person breathing on me on many occasions.

I have had a bunch or regulars come in and tell me they have tested + a week earlier.

That’s already pretty much happening. We’d have no one left to work... A third of the people at work have Covid, a third already had it . It’s probably only a matter of time before the whole crew will have had it. We don’t quarantine other employees just because someone tested positive.

Don’t sneeze on anyone and be careful around old or sick people and I don’t think your life should change.

I'm pretty sure Covid wants no part of trying to infect a man that consumes as much Food and Booze as you....Poor little Virus would not stand a chance

No need. Wear a mask and only go where everyone else has a mask.
