Current Events > Coworker's son tested positive for covid. They told coworker to come in anyway

(+) Yeah! (+)

They told him to just wear a mask. He doesn't even have to be tested himself.

We share the same desk on different shifts. So I'm typing on the possibly diseased keyboard he uses. Touching on all the shit he touches on throughout the day. I was given a container with like 3 sanitary wipes in it which wasn't enough to do anything.

What are the rules on this now? Is this even the correct way to handle the situation?

Why isn't he seeking testing on his own?

If he dies they'll tell him to come in anyway

I don't know. I told him I'm pissed that they said he can just come in like everything's normal without be tested. Then he said he'll be calling out for the next few days so I dunno what he's going to do.

He wasn't even wearing the mask when I came in like he was supposed to.

My friend is a HS teacher, they told him to come in anyways after testing positive for covid. He can use sick days if he wants but a positive test doesn't matter anymore in America

i know this one, the son is living with the mother and he hasnt seen his kid since his 15th birthday

If I get covid, my kid can still go to school. Covid policies are pretty much gone

Covid restrictions are pretty much over with that recent CDC change. We are back to the old days where people would show up to work/school with flu and coughing. Except with Covid now.

cdc pretty much laid the rules back.

but depends on your work. at my work they still want you to quaratine. (hospital)

Its really shitty situation, but I would wear a mask when Im around other people at work. You should ask for more sanitary wipes also for your area and just wash your hands after youre done touching pretty much anything.

Didn't they basically confirm covid life on surfaces is like zero?

He shouldn't be coming in anyways but unless you're seeing him between shifts or something, it shouldn't matter to you personally.

Can you request a different desk?

Is there a secret plan ro cut down the population >_>. I don't know what's worse optics, us being that stupid or that malicious

wish they didn't relax all the rules back. rather not have people come in if they're sick. reduces productivity upon all impacted.
if TC was immune compromised completely screwed because somebody couldn't stay home for a few days (the covid positive individual).

Capitalism.
