One of my coworkers (California) said she had a sore throat and had gotten tested for Covid. She was out for weeks “waiting for the results.” Then when the results came back negative, a relative in her household got the sniffles or something and SHE got tested. Then we had to wait for HER results. Then it was another relative.
Everyone’s so terrified of Covid, if there’s even a small possibility somebody has it, they’re told, “Don’t come to work!” And “waiting for the results” can take as long as somebody claims it takes.
People are definitely scamming the system.
I am 71 years old and had the dreaded Chinese flu when it went through our Kansas town in January. I am pretty sure I survived, do not know anyone who died and have no tolerance for mask nazis. Get over it people. Some of you have lives so get out and live them.
