Got probed Saturday morning
Got my negative results last night0 -
was informed of the 2nd positive test in a week at work. refusal to state where in the building. only that I wouldn't have had contact. BUT it probable to have had contact with someone who did have contact.I have lost all confidence in my local management. This hasnt been taken seriously. My county is under both a state mandate and more stringent county level mandate about masks and other measures.There is not one item posted in our building about covid and best practices. Our other lications within the state are also located in renewed hotspots. Mandatory masks or dont enter the building.Will see what they do today when I go in tonight. if nothing has changed, call me whistleblower....I am one of a few that wears one in the building......here it is.

Not good. Even simple stuff like mandatory masks are important.

Its ridiculous for a business to not take it seriously in order to protect their employees.
I will say Re:positive cases. They have to follow some strict laws about what can be shared. And as long as they are notifying those that spent >15 min within 6 feet of these people, they are doing their job in that regard.hippiemom = goodness0 -

Sweden is 5th most in the world for per capita deaths. They are probably going to catch Italy for 4th. Remember how bad Italy was in the spring?
there is a chance the US can catch Sweden in this category. Still a ways to go. But the US probably has fewer precautions currently than Sweden so not sure that would prove Swedens goal of staying open with limited safety measures is best, because the US basically said hey let’s open up like Sweden.0 -

Yeah the cleaning in my opinion from what I have read, etc is ok, but not really that necessary if you wash your hands. Now, masks....should be mandatory at your workplace (in my opinion).hippiemom = goodness0 -

Repubs are pushing for exemptions from liability and some already exist. However, it appears it'll be a state issue to contend with. Not sure how it impacts Mickey but I'm guessing that because trucking was deemed essential, his company is exempt from liability. That said, they may need to abide by certain policies/procedures. Regardless, its shitty of them not to do the right thing as it relates to covid and precautions (mandate wearing masks, frequent cleaning, enforce and mandate social distancing, notification if someone tests positive and encourage or arrange for testing of employees with some kind of paid time off for quarantining, if required.Lerxst1992 said:mickeyrat said:cincybearcat said:

Cleaning is important but not the most important of the measures - the three most important are frequent hand washing, consistent mask wearing, and social distancing.
Proper cleaning is obviously not a bad thing but, given the risk for droplets and aerosols, it just can't be done frequently enough to actually keep the surfaces clean, so it's on the individual to wash their hands after any time you've touched a common object.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0
