One Rhode Island health care worker said, 'We have no choice'

After implementing a coronavirus mandate for health care workers this fall, Rhode Island has now opened an option for COVID-positive health care workers to continue working if their facility is facing a staffing crisis. 

"Also, facility administrators should be using their clinical judgment in making staffing decisions. For example, a facility may opt for a COVID-19 positive worker to only care for COVID-19 positive patients," Joseph Wendelken, a spokesperson from the department of health, told the Providence Journal on Saturday

A memo was sent to employees of state-run Eleanor Slater Hospital on Friday explaining that "those who are exposed or have a positive Covid test but are asymptomatic" can continue reporting to work "in crisis situations for staffing" if they wear N95 masks.

That seems like an extreme reversal.

But after reading the extract and the conditions for allowing them to work, it sounds more reasonable.

In layman’s terms, it’s lunacy and a sign of the times. Just like libs when they decided to fire all the cops and then quickly realized they needed them to survive.

Carle Hospital/Clinic in Illinois allows you to work if you’ve got COVID if you’ve been “vaccinated”.

Depends on the goal.

If this is to enable health systems to blame nosocomial spread on an employment exigency rather than vaccines that were created to allow the continued spread of CoupFlu by the vaxxed, I’m sure that’ll work for Deep State.
