They scared us all with “there won’t be enough ventilators to go around” and “we’ll overwhelm the healthcare system”.
As more ventilators and PPEs become available and when it’s apparent that outside of a few hotspots our healthcare system is slower than usual (due to cancelling every visit/procedure unrealted to COVID-19) then it’s time to get back to work.
In a high-risk group? Continue to shelter in place and use extreme caution when going out. Outside that group but scared to go to work? Stay home and keep drawing unemployment for 39 weeks — but no social gatherings or non-essential shopping trips.
If we don’t get America moving again the virus won’t kill us but the cure will.
What about “I’ve got glass in me lungs and I can’t get up.”
Even though our business is declared non essential our supervisors will not OK using the virus unemployment and must use regular 8 week one - sound highly illegal to me.
