My pay is being docked for missing work due to covid quarantine, which is hosed because they're saying I missed 5 days (it was more like 5.5), although we're allotted 10 sick days for covid (per email from the boss - a while ago, at the end of December).

To top that off, company has received 2 PPP loans, each around 300k for our staff.

The gently caress?

Is that legal?

US DOL posted:

Employers are not required to provide employees with FFCRA leave after December 31, 2020, but employers who choose to provide such leave between January 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021 may be eligible for employer tax credits. Information about claiming the tax credits for paid sick leave or paid family leave wages can be found on the IRS website at:

Might be more to it than that, though. Call a lawyer for sure.

Is that actually true? I know it's pretty drat rare for people to be directly struck, but considering the insane temperatures involved - literally able to create glass (fulgurites) - I find it shocking that anyone survives at all (I know they do, and it leaves badass scars) but legit have a hard time believing most survive it.

Ok, that was a concept I wasn't grasping earlier - that makes a lot of sense, thank you. With no contact tracing, it means you can't really keep track of the people who don't get it, because they have no reason to go and check. It'd only be with constant tracking of every infected person and every vaccinated person they come into contact with, and testing all parties, that it'd be possible to tell, so those numbers are pretty meaningless. Is that the takeaway from this?

Here's another data point for you from today:
https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/0...ted-people/amp/

"The breakthrough cases are making up about one-third of the state’s overall cases"

That's consistent with the past month and a half in Massachusetts.

The federal govt was repaying covid absence/quarantine pay with tax credits to employers. That program ended about a month ago. Sorry bud.

Will donating blood be able to determine if you have (a) covid antibodies and (b) if they are from actual covid or the vaccine?

Does any place do more indepth antibody testing? I'd be curious what I got floating around in my blood.

yes it's true, the current usually passes on the outside of your skin rather than through your body, sometimes people get blown out of their shoes or their clothes get blown off - it's because the sweat and moisture on their skin conducted the electricity and got so hot it vaporized and blew the articles of clothing off

my daughter had pinworms a couple weeks back (pretty common in kids) and I did have to buy a dewormer, which the whole family has to take, and it tasted exactly like banana runts. I'm convinced people have the same taste gene for banana runts as they do for cilantro as you either loving love it or loving hate it. I hate it.

Welp my wife's grandpa is undergoing surgery for a bunch of things wrong with his bladder and also he can't walk because of a badly infected knee and who boy am I hoping he pulls through and also retains the desire and will to live for a few months so we have time to figure out how things will work that don't end up with just my wife being super exposed to COVID from multiple people since they live in a town that's maybe 1/3 vaxxed and while her immediate family is vaxxed they are very open Biden.

Also look forward to getting in a fight about not taking the baby with her because I know that once she gets there a bunch of unplanned people will show up, either maskless or in cloth masks at best, and want to hold her and she will fold immediately and hand her over rather than disappoint some random cousin.

The only real problem with ivermectin is that it's only lethal in very high doses. Ideally we need to find a substance that is painlessly but inevitably lethal and promote it as the next miracle cure.
