Reply to comment by eschenfelder in Hollywood’s Covid Protocols Get Expiration Date; Vaccine Mandate Will End by LordHyperBreath

Sure, and a year ago I’d have agreed.

We’re now at a point where there’s no requirement to isolate, and symptoms are often so small they’re barely noticeable. Most workplaces outside of healthcare have accepted that it’s ok to come to work if you have it.

They absolutely have not. My workplace still makes you isolate if you have Covid and we’re food service. Not an industry known for sending someone home if they’re sick.

That’s crazy! I’m in food production, and the official company stance as of May 22 is “If you feel well enough to work, you’re fine. If you’re COVID positive, wear a mask if you want to.”

Being asked to come into work when you’re covid positive is insane to me

Doesn't help that COVID, vaccine, and masks are so divisive in America that the workers can't even agree on their own protection.

I forgot that something being an official company stance means that it is always a good idea, the right way to go about something and will always be based on what’s best for the safety and wellbeing of its employees rather than its profit margins…

Yes because every human being will have the same reaction to COVID, which is "symptom so small they're barely noticable".

The vast majority, yes.

It’s like how when you go to buy gloves, each glove has 5 fingers. It’s not saying that people who don’t have 5 fingers don’t exist, just that for the majority, it works.
