Her husband has just been diagnosed with Covid. He's in their home and quite sick as I understand it. He's been staying in the basement while he has been ill. This woman is a technician in respiratory therapy and is apparently at work today per the text that she just sent to a mutual friend. The friend texted me and wondered if this should be reported? The woman in question is leaving her current position at a hospital 45 minutes away for a job here in town. I don't know which facility she's working in at the moment. I didn't think these people could still shock me but I'm pretty upset by this.
My gawd...my vaccinated kiddo woke up with a scratchy throat and I kept him home from school today as a precaution. What the hell is wrong with these people?
ETA: My friend who told me about this woman being at work and being a close contact is going to try to extract where this person is working so we can report it.

(23,337 posts)There is a slim chance she is vaccinated and didn't tell anyone. She is regularly on FB promoting conspiracy theories and the virtues of ivermectin. smdh.

(4,171 posts)She should have self reported. My son has been exposed at work three times. Each exposure was reported by the affected employee as soon as they found out. The management passed the information along. In turn my son has called me to let me know that we can't visit each other.
I have been grateful for the information shared all along the way.
P.S. I haven't gotten it yet and have been tested 3 times. Planning on getting my 3rd Covid shot this week.

(23,337 posts)The person who alerted me gets regular phone calls from the woman whose husband is positive for Covid. I'm hopeful she checks in later today and spills the beans. I will report her from there.
Congrats on your third shot!! I'm patiently waiting for mine.

(23,337 posts)and thug legislature passed a law where businesses cannot be required to vaccinate. Doctors and medical facilities here in town have filed a lawsuit but results are pending.

Example I was in a FEDEX store returning a package and this jerk and his partner were talking about there company mandating the shots.....he said he wasn't going to do it, me, said really ... you got shots when you were younger...he pipes in and say it about my choice....I looked at him and said it not your choice its my health and others health....and one that has pre-existing condition like heart disease...he said he has COPD....I said think about your lungs turning into leather....have a good day with your choice....your a health hazard.....in my opinion......got up and left......
