I don't know what to think anymore. Ideally, people should get paid to stay home for any sickness. It would let the person recover and stop the spread. Isn't that better for the employer in the long run, to have one person out sick instead of half the staff sick and working at 60%? Or does it not matter since we aren't as contagious once we start having symptoms? I never liked it when coworkers came in sick and would not want someone who had Covid coughing near me.


On the other hand, it's all starting to seem a little ridiculous now. The guidance we have here is very confusing. 'Five days isolation if symptoms are improving.' My husband's cough sounds the same today as it did three days ago. He never had a fever and never felt that bad. I have no doubt his cough will sound the same two weeks from now. What's he supposed to do, stay at home until then?
