The findings echo a November report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which found that working in offices and schools increases an individual's risk of contracting COVID
"Providing the option to work from home or telework when possible, is an important consideration for reducing the risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection," the report read.
A separate report from researchers at UC-San Francisco detailed which essential workers appear to be the most at risk. Topping the list were cooks, packaging and filling machine operators and tenders, agricultural workers, bakers, construction workers, and production workers.

Recall the adulterous bastard Newsome.
He could always get a job as a dishwasher at The Laundry.

Stop this Jackass Now. Recall him to the sidelines of tyrannical history. In other words... End his Political Aspirational Shit before it stinks up the Whole Country.
