I think they disappear the people that have the virus.

Not that I'm aware of but other than Aids do you know of another communicable disease that's been so politicized?

Nope.

Unless you are being specifically negligent, refusing to allow them to wear masks or something like that, I dont know why a company would ever be responsible.

One of our foremen had a heart attack in his hotel room while working in Maybrook, NY. Per NY state laws it was a WC claim, so there is precedent.

I can see a heart attack being a bit different. That's a very specific instance, and somewhat work related (stress).

I could see some industries with Covid being a work specific issue. But not for most office types.

In NY, IL and some other states that have insane WC laws I can easily see how a covid case will be covered under WC.

I don't know how accurate this website is but there's already been a bunch of covid related lawsuits filed against employers.

Since March 12, there have been 1,425 lawsuits (including 129 class actions) filed against employers due to alleged labor and employment violations related to the coronavirus. The filings have increased steadily over the past several months:

Because they say there's a .00000000000000001 chance even with the vaccine you can get COVID and spread it to my grandmother! We are all in this together.

At this point how are there any grandmas left?

Kind of like how there's no gay people in Iran.

Oh I can see a ton of potential suits. Let's say your state only has guidelines, not laws/rules like Georgia for example, and your business ignores the guidelines. For example they have a large wedding. Some people get infected then kill their grandparents. They come back and sue the venue etc. etc. Georgia it's not a problem bc of the state passing liability protection on.

My grandmas died in 1974 and 1984.

Of Covid? Have you told CNN? Maybe they got it in a Trump owned property.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

So biden had covid already?

Probably had it for the last 4 years or so.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

no doubt soon you won’t be able to fly without proof of vaccination. My stepmom got the vaccine recently then got sick with Covid go figure

Not sure how I am gonna handle that...

Had a report today from our university - part dealt with why we are going to have live classes.

In short, over the Fall (when we were live - and roundly criticized by the media for going live) there were a very small number of cases of transmission from student to student or student to faculty. Virtually all cases in the area (Birmingham) were from small group gatherings.

The classroom continues to be one of the safest places for students to be. Wish school districts would follow our lead.

So why is the vaccine so slow to be pushed out?

Sorry, not following.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Same reason you can get fired for using drugs. Don't like it go find another job right?

 

[joevol33]

We will all end up getting it. We won’t have a choice.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Got a covid test today for sh!ts n giggles. The people complaining about "it hurting" are truly the biggest p###ies on this planet.

Who was complaining about it hurting? Even still, I'm more than sure that most of the people against it are not worried about it hurting.

U Alabama Under Investigation For Possible Ties To Wuhan Lab | ZeroHedge

“It appears that UA has failed to report an alleged partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China,” a letter sent to UA President Stuart Bell on Dec. 22 stated.

“The WIV, owned by the Chinese government’s Academy of Sciences, includes a maximum biocontainment laboratory (“MCL”) that may be closely linked to the origin and/or spread of the Chinese COVID-19 virus,” the letter continued.
