    Problem is absenteeism is frowned upon in many organisations.
    Many don’t get paid on sick days also.
    People wonder why others work sick...

    Where I work you get sent home if you are sick. You can either leave without pay or take a vacation day to cover it, your choice. We had someone come in sick about three years ago around the holidays, got half the department sick. It isn't tolerated anymore.

    I’ve been waiting 10 days for the press to challenge him on that statement, when he stated “there are 15 cases in the U.S. (there were actually closer to 70 at the time)
    and soon there will be none” “It will Disappear on it’s own”


    It’s my guess they’re so used to his lies it’s just not worth it.

    Against medical advice, a man socialized at Dartmouth while awaiting a test result. It came back positive.


    An employee at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire who showed signs of possible coronavirus infection was told by a medical worker last week to avoid contact with other people, pending test results.

    Instead, the man who had flu-like symptoms after a trip to Italy, attended a mixer for doctors and Dartmouth College students. Three days later, he was confirmed as the state’s first coronavirus case. A “close contact” of the man has since tested positive as well.

    The episode heightened concerns about people who ignore requests to self-quarantine. The state health commissioner has now made the request a formal order.

    The toilet paper thing has spread to Japan. Grandparents spent hours trying to track down poop parchment. They managed to find baby wipes. Apparently the TP panic is so bad people are even buying maxi pads to wipe

    Hand wash apparently kills off your body to build immunity. Waste of money Sooz as you've mentioned.

    Same thing happened during the 14th Century when the bubonic plague mutated to the more deadly and aggressive forms of pneumonic and septicemic plague
