I agree I guess what I was saying is workers are seeing 5 days off and imo abusing the policy. If an asymptomatic person HAS to test and it’s neg then why the vacation. I doubt if a worker who feels fine and tested negative stays in quarantine for 5 days so not sure that does jack

The other side of the '5 day' thing is that at 5 days, lots of people are still infectious and employers are squeezing their workers to come in at that point even if they're still capable of infecting. I told my employer that should I get sick or test positive, I'd be home for 5 days taking sick time, then working remotely for at least 5 days after that and maybe more.

...but then I don't work in a place where I've seen anyone leverage for 5-days iso, and "Per CDC guidelines" if you're vaccinated, they're not suggesting anyone isolate if you've been in contact with someone who is sick or tests positive. Because basically America has decided that they're bored with caring about shit, it's too hard to do the safe thing, especially if it slows the flow of dollars into corporate bank accounts.

Talk about crazy, I had symptoms to start and got tested, it came back negative so my company said get back to work. Three days later tested negative again. The next week I tested positive and they sent me home for a week. Now one of the people I was working with has symptoms but tested negative. They told him to get back to work. LMAO at the stupidity of just blindly relying on a stupid test.

Also if you’re asymptomatic you don’t have enough of the virus in your airways to really be infectious (1% chance)

that’s what the Pfizer ex chief scientist even says.

He says that asymptomatic transmission is rounded up to about 1% versus symptomatic spread of 17%, and the governments who say asymptomatic transmission is fuelling the spread are lying, because epidemiology 101 doesn’t work that way and goes against everything known about epidemiology.

He also talks about the vaccines, while still “experimental” as in not fully tested (phase3 trials don’t end until 2023) and who should be given them and the one thing he touches on is that pregnant women, children and the fit and healthy should not be taking a vaccine.

I just seen this yesterday. Would explain why I haven't got covid

Mmmmm I think that might be reaching but I honestly can’t explain how myself and wife have avoided it either especially if vaccines don’t stop infection just severity

Btw @Hook Daddy , get better man

Thanks, I’m feeling better already, never had symptoms too bad. I guess the vaccine and booster worked in that respect.

It does impart some level of immunity, but not 100%. It doesn't help that the newest variant is highly communicable. In the end it may be worse than the others which were less virulent but did more damage per person. This way more people get infected though many not as badly, but since the numbers are higher the hospitals are more full...and since there's more people getting it, there ends up being overall more negative outcome.
