We can’t afford to quarantine all store employees who’ve been exposed, or all of the stores would be closed. That includes employees who were exposed to family members who tested positive from other employment. Same with people who work in some of the other services. I’ve known of quite a few people who were sick but not tested. It would be logistically impractical to repeatedly test them all.
So employees are screened when entering their workplaces (temperatures, questions, etc.). They wear clean, fitted masks and try to keep a little distance from customers. It’s about all that they can feasibly do.
If we had a public health edifice that was worth anything, front line health care workers and public-facing store employees would be on Covid prophylaxis. The Federal public health agencies (FDA/NIH/CDC) have seemingly completely ignored cheap effective re-purposed therapeutics that could have significantly reduced deaths and transmission.

Anyone able to interpret a basic graph will be impressed. Why is this not being talked about in Western media?
