They will overrun the ICU's with mild Covid symptoms? That was the problem during last year's big waves - overflowing ICU's combined with hospital staff out sick.
- spookthesunset 5y agoIt is highly plausible they were out because they tested positive. If the test didn’t exist they’d go into work and be fine. …it’s a self created problem. All this testing caused people to loose their rational thinking.
- HarryHirsch 5y agoLook, it's a communicable disease. There's no need for healthcare staff to spread Covid to each and any patient that comes to see them. The phenomenon of asymptomatic/presymptomatic spread is well known with Covid. "My Tinder date told me she has chlamydia, but she's asymptomatic. All good!"
- spookthesunset 5y agoThen why not test for every other respiratory virus too? Why just Covid?
- HarryHirsch 5y agoBecause such would imply mandatory unlimited paid sick leave, unthinkable in the current political environment. OSHA only recommends flu testing and leave for healthcare personnel, but they are a joke.
