Daily reminder that living-with-Covid doesn’t mean no lockdowns; it just means individualised lockdowns of 5-7 days every time you get sick (or become a close contact anywhere except the UK).
They still have free drive up testing in my town, but last time I was there I was the only one being tested. That will probably be closed just in time for the next wave.
Bold of you to assume the ultimate capitalist hellscape would go that far for it's workers. I work a white collar job and we got rid of our COVID policy last year that had permitted quarantine for 2 weeks after testing positive
Now it's just 'work remote' or 'burn personal sick days and then get excused leave (which you will not be paid for)'
Retail where I am never had anything even that good,; iirc, for them it was "stay home and lose 2 weeks' income" or "work through it." For someone going paycheck to paycheck...
Noooope. CDC doesn't even recommend that anymore. Because apparently killing people and having to shut down anyway is somehow better for the economy, which is apparently part of the CDCs mission for some reason.

in America you go to work sick or starve
Wait, there aren’t mandatory quarantines for those with covid in the USA either?
Hell no. At this point I don’t think you even have a way of knowing if you have COVID. Are free lab tests even a thing anymore?
:yea:
