We just had a two hour meeting about the importance of customer service.

We're still planning on being fully open, with thousands of college kids in our dining hall, obviously unmasked while eating, even after we've learned Delta breaks through the vaccine, fucks people up, and doesn't give two shits about all our nice new plexiglass.

And the school is reinstating three person dorm rooms because hundreds of kids are homeless without them.

"Well, we'll see what happens at schools that open before we do." LMAO

So one of my kids tested positive and I tested positive but my two other kids tested negative. We’ve been trying to isolate from each other but you can only really do so much and the whole house has been quarantined. I received a call from one of my kid’s school saying he has an unexcused absence. We had sent a mail about the covid status Sunday night and figured all was good.

I explained the situation and they ask his covid test status, which is negative. Well that’s all they wanted to hear. With a negative test and being vaccinated he has no excuse and will be docked as having an unexcused absence.

Absurd policies like this is one of the many, many reasons we’re doomed.

If you want a booster just go into Rite Aid and say you qualify, without being specific. No appointment necessary. They won't fight you and they'll write it in on your existing vaccine card (and give you a second card too for some reason).

I will try that next, thanks! I just got denied at a Safeway pharmacy because I "do not qualify" and that I could try again once I hit my official 8 months. They would rather dump the vaccine down the drain than give me a third shot.

just skipped 1200 posts to ask this one...

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?

I think I have arthritis in both my feet and ankles and some other old injuries are causing me trouble. I need to go to a doctor. RIP me I guess I’ll just live in pain for the next few months while the numbers climb or fall or they stop counting or whatever.

At this point I assume the varient specific boosters don't actually exist beyond being theoretically possible and he's just gaslighting us into going back to applebee's

Fast Luck posted:

one funny phrase that people like to use is that they've "done everything right." Like during a raging global pandemic they got a couple of shots and they didn't go to places while those places were literally closed. So they've "done everything right" and shouldn't be "punished" by us trying to stop everyone from getting the virus as the pandemic enters its most infectious phase ever.

I said this before. Collapse isn't collapse. You can say hospitals are collapsing because people that need care aren't getting it, and that's a reasonable definition of collapse, but hospitals are still there and still providing care...and that's a reasonable definition of not collapsed. My prediction is that hospitals will skate forever along the very edge of the precipice. Most of the people in this thread will be convinced that they're going to fall off at any moment, but they never will. There will never be the catharsis of being able to point and say "Look, they collapsed," and have people universally accept that statement as truth. A lot of people will die who didn't need to, and nobody will care.

That's the key to collapse versus not collapse, whether people care. If nobody cares, it isn't collapse, regardless of how bad things get materially. And I guarantee, nobody is going to care.
