Is this what life is going to be like now? Every time somebody gets sick everybody has to run home and shut everything down at the office or at stores? The fear has to stop

What? In every CVS commercial everyone has their mask on.

There is a cold. Send everyone home and close the drug stores. This is a DC induced panic... and now entering it’s 3rd year.

Well as I always saw Phamacies (where infected sick people gather for prescriptions) I was very happy when they had drive up windows. Same with Dr.s offices.
However in todays “flu and cold season” you can never tell exactly what virus’s are floating around out there. They call them “seasons” for a reason.

Hey CVS idiots. You have Ivermectin in stock? Get it to your employees and they will be back the next day.

More business for Rite Aid.
I wonder if Duane Reade will close, as it's owned by Walgreen's?

Government makes the rule employees have to quarantine if they test positive. An employee tests positive. The employee goes home to quarantine even though they feel like a million bucks. Business shuts location down after too many employees test positive. Government laughs.

It’s not even as serious as sending someone home who is actually sick. Some who have Covid just feel like they have the sniffles, or don’t feel it at all, but if they test positive, they’re sent home as another “case.”
It’s the obsession with constant testing that has to stop along with the fear-mongering. Our Leftist government blankets the country with test kits not because they care about the people (what a laugh THAT is!), but because the more testing is done, the more “surges” can be reported by the Leftist media.
It’s time to stop needless testing. That just plays into their grubby hands.

Our area has 64 covid patients in hospital.....where a year ago we went no higher than 24. Makes you want to go hummm-mmm. Deaths too. But we’re apparently in a spike here...I tend thinking it’s flue as well but they’l always relate it to covid unfortunately.

This will come to an end when people stop running to get a covid test every time they get chills or the sniffles.
I wonder how many people are getting covid tests in the hope of testing positive so they have an excuse to stay home.

Probably localized. (We are fine here in MI) More panic porn for the sheep.
To: hardspunned
What? In every CVS commercial everyone has their mask on. And like all ads they show happy people of all races and ethnicities living in harmony and cooperation with each other.
It all must be true. We saw it on TV. /s
Masks and shots make certain no one gets Covid. Uh, that was the "guidance" in early 2021. Now it's "thank goodness for the shots and boosters and masks so the Covid will be a mild case when everybody gets it." Doesn't sound as good.

Based on modern TV commercials, at least no white people are getting sick.

I was using CVS in Auburn CA. Due to staffing problems they had over 2000 prescriptions needing to be filled. They changed their business model. Here’s how it works. The line when you go in is 15 to 20 people long. Sign says that it represents a 2 hour wait. You get to the front of the line. Despite the fact that the CVS website says the prescription is ready, they say that they are working on it and it will be 1 to 2 hours before it is ready. You go home. You go back hoping the line is shorter. Nope. You wait again. Everybody in line starts addressing each other as “Comrade”.
I transferred all prescriptions to another locally owned pharmacy.

Most people don’t realize it, but this country is already in a collapse.

I went to two Bank of America locations today and both were closed.

Good for you. The store owners bust their balls, the insurance reimbursement sucks but you get better service.
I can't tell you the number of hospital pharmacists I've met who were CVS/Rite Aid/Walgreens et. retail guys that quit after just a few years. One I guy I knew walked into the store manager's office one day, put his keys on the table and walked out after 6 years on the job.
Dealing with difficult customers sucks, the workload is brutal and now since the profession has gone majority female and H1B visa the wages have stagnated and actually rolled backward. I see offers at the big storesfor what I was making 20 years ago in the hospital.
That $150,000 pharmacy degree isn't so appealing anymore.

Omicron variant has depleted staffing at several locations nationwide…
