Thursday morning and off tomorrow

I understand what you're saying. But its just not going to happen that way. When I was at my old job and someone tested positive, we all had to get tested before we came back. But it just wasn't feasible to shut down for two weeks. Most of our job could be done from home, so sure, you could say everyone can go in and pick up your computers and go home. But one, its no where near efficient, and two it just isn't feasible to have to close down every single time someone test positive in the office. Or someone from the office lives with someone who tested positive. Not to mention, most people don't have jobs that can be done from home. It's just not practical for a large portion of people to sit out for two weeks (not saying it is for you either).
Feasibility and necessity certainly don't always work in unison, that's for sure. But short term sacrifices would all but certainly lessen the burden. Right now it looks like we'll be in a holding pattern at least through next summer at this rate.

And my kids' teachers have already suggested we'll "hopefully" be back to hybrid learning by next fall. So I'm not exactly on board with whatever fucking company thinks coming up with a plan to keep people from coming into contact with a lot of co-workers and possibly having to shut down for 2 weeks is too difficult for them.

I'll tell the plant they need to roll $200k in hfi over to December because kobes said so. They'll understand.

I'm certainly not getting into a discussion about whether or not there should be a shutdown of those things. That's an absolute 2/10 PF plz.

I'll only go as far as to say the dozen or so medical professionals I have regular contact with would be appalled by a close exposure 5 days ago, take a quick results test, and go back to work. I'm in no position to be able to question the 100% agreement between the nurses, doctors, and hospital admins I talk to regularly.

I'm not saying you have a choice. But I'm probably saying your HR should consult with a medical professional.

They've been following this for a while. We've got almost 25,000 employees. They're not just going willy nilly.

Just speaking with regards to the two places I've worked at recently, they aren't just coming up with their own rules. Its typically related to whatever DHEC is saying. However, to your point, DHEC isn't a medical professional.
 
snowing here

yaaay. Actually kind of pretty at the moment
 
we're trying to figure out if the new rules means no curling, it's not 100% clear

I think most medical professionals would say it's at least a little reckless, if not saying it was more than a little reckless.
 
Hes baaaaaack

Kosher pigs in a blanket?
 
Nor a lot of businesses. We would have had to close the store pretty much the entire year.
I don't disagree with what she is saying, but what SHOULD be done, what CAN be done, and what WILL be done are all different things.

It's a company that makes "essential" items (really is essential.. My job mostly isn't). We never shut down. They're probably working between making sure they can supply product and making as safe of an environment as possible.
