How about some brainstorming on how to reduce risk for office workers to return to work if not able to telecommute.
How about splitting group of employees into high risk and low risk categories and bring back low risk employees that are younger and have no preexisting conditions.
Then split the returning group in shifts so that some workers work one day while others work another day. This would reduce the transmission rate by half.
Also use testing to determine who is immune and let them come back full time.
USE COMMON SENSE! My solutions: (I believe that all criticisms should be coupled with suggested solutions).
1. All American residents should be given a card and divided into groups Type A Between 18 and 35, healthy or those who have had the sickness and recovered. These should be tested for fever daily and permitted to return to work. Type B Between 15 and 18 as well as between 36 and 45. Tested to see if they have had the illness by a doctor, are cleared to work and show no temperature daily, Return to work. Type C Children age 1 to 14 Stay home til school starts in August/June. Not return if they show any signs of sickness—Home or Computer schooled if they show signs of sickness. Lastly Type D Between ages 46 to 100—Stay at home until a vaccine is developed (for men Blood type A ) Women can be permitted out if they are given slip from a doctor. Urged to stay home—work from home. intil vaccine is discovered.
No thanks....If I feel sick, I’ll call the doctor.....and I know enough to stay home if I’m sick.
I believe no spitting on the sidewalk is still on the books in NYS.
You will be the last one standing, for sure!
I already look like an idiot when I go to the grocery store wearing a rain coat (to keep the corona mist off my clothing and hair), wood shop goggles and a mask. I give less than 2 sh!tz.
First of all, any job that can be done from home, needs to be done from home until we have a handle on Covid. Make it clear that employee productivity will speak for itself and anyone who isn’t producing will be given a pink slip.
People at the office will need to wear masks. I believe something is better than nothing. I was able to get a nice hand made one with a filter pocket. There are a few studies online which show the best materials to use as a filter. Obviously these are not as good as M95’s but only medical workers and celebrities can get those (Sandra Bullock). Posters everywhere reminding people to WASH HANDS and sanitize their area daily! Do what you can to promote good ventilation in the building.
Everyone go back to work and while you are at work pretend Obama is still President.
It’s really simple:
Office workers are the number one category of people that CAN easily telecommute successfully.
Brainstorm how to get factory workers, construction workers, and service industry workers back on the job instead.
Sure I do..want employees to be safe. I worked as a bank supervisor and had around 80 employees but retired in 1994. Can’t recall anything remotely as radical as forced shutdown though. Glad I don’t have to make those decisions. My opinion is to open all the way up or stay closed down.
Each employer decide his own guidelines. Employees can agree, or move to another company.
LOL.......just dress up in a full blown hazmat suit. I figured some twit would try something stupid so I also “wear” my Smith & Wesson M&P Shield just in case.
Correction......I will not be wearing the Smith at work :-)
Simple. You come in wearing an N95 or higher respirator mask to protect your reparatory tract and goggles to protect your eyes, and a Tyvek suit to cover clothes. Total cost for the reusable gear should be $20 bucks. Before you exit the door, everybody gets their hands, face, shoe soles, and Tyvek sprayed down with 70 alcohol, and it is let sit for 60 seconds before you towel it off at your car, remove it, bag it, and go home. If you want to be ultra safe, buy ten sets of the gear, for about a $200 investment, and each day you rotate to a new set of gear. After nine days, the bag is opened, the gear is aired out, and it is reused on day ten, after all virus particles should have died, and the gear self sterilized.
It is very simple to reduce risk to zero, really.
Good point about letting it sit and the virus die. Why is that not done in hospitals?
But fever may not appear for days after they’re infectious
