You said the employer would know. That may have been your sturdy branch or cool story post, I can't remember.
Someone, not sure if it was you, went as far as to say the employer would be informed.

In some cases with communicable diseases, the doctor advises the patient to inform their employer. The doctor then reports out the patients info local health officials and cdc. Then the employer gets a phone call from health officials saying you have an employee who has come down with a confirmed case of x. They don’t tell you who it is. If you reply no, they can tell you to shut down until you have every employee report to the local HD for testing of x, when you have them all tested you can reopen. I had this happen with a Hep A scare are one of my restaurants. No one came forward until we told the staff what would happen to everyone if this person did not come forward. 20 minutes after the meeting the employee called and fessed up. We then still had to test close coworkers, close friends who worked for us, and his roommate who worked for us.

Has Fauci said it's no good? I don't think so. His concern was that it has not yet been established to be effective in a clinical trial. What he doesn't want to have happen is to have the independent medical judgment of doctors overridden by a bunch of quacks in the administration.

When did the administration say they were going to overrule the advice of the medical community? All Trump said was that the drug was possibly a game changer. He said nothing about mandating the use of it.

You are so full of ish.

No I didnt.
Go back and check.

You can just click the arrow beside the name of the reply to go back and see. I went back to my first post on the matter.

As far as I know it's only if you get quarantined that work finds put. Which is why my doctor avoided that phrase when I talked to them about my symptoms. But that's an SOP thing not a Covid special as I understand it.

No, that is a recycled version of the “jobs sabed” (I.e., jobs not lost) narrative. It’s not that there couldn’t be some truth to it, but it is ultimately unprovable.

Therefore it ends up serving more as a talking point in support of a political storyline than a solid statistic for decision making.

Is that legal? I'm not sure how stout that limb is.
But we are straying from the original debate.
What should be done to someone who has tested positive, told to self quarantine, but refuses?

I would be interested to know your answer. I'm sure you would lean towards anything that is "for the greater good".

I say we send them to the American Gulags in Upper Michigan.

China forces Italy to buy same coronavirus Supplies it had Donated to Beijing a few weeks ago

China's efforts to rebrand itself as a global leader focused on humanitarian relief amid the coronavirus outbreak has hit a major snag and perhaps revealed Beijing's true intentions behind their public relations blitz.

After telling the world that it would donate masks, face guards and testing equipment to Italy, China quietly backtracked and sold the Mediterranean country desperately-needed medical equipment, according to a report.

What's worse is that the personal protective equipment (PPE) China forced Italy to buy was actually the same PPE Italy donated to China before coronavirus rushed its own shores and killed nearly 16,000 people.

Do you think these doctors were in the dark about this until IMPOTUS mentioned it? You think Donny is more up on French medical research than American doctors? Get real. All he's done is increase demand for it in the general population. The doctors were using it before he touted it if they thought it may work. Now, they're faced with a bunch of patients telling them what the doctors should give them because Donny says they should take it. That's not a situation you wanna be in as a doctor.

This can only be determined if it is determined that the virus can be transitted to another person besides being sneezed or coughed on. Otherwise we wash our hands and don't touch our face and the numbers are off as well.

My wife gets on me every year about not getting the flu shot to the point that she has basically said if you die from the flu it's on you. She is a nurse and they pretty much have her completely brainwashed about vaccinations to the point that if the doctor recommends it for us for the kids we 100% have to have it.

That being said I have only had the flu shot once in my adult life. I got coerced into getting the flu shot when I was 20. Coincidentally this was the only year in my adult life that I have gotten the flu.

In the past two years my wife, parents and kids have gotten the flu shot. My wife has gotten the flu, my parents have gotten the flu and my son has gotten the flu.

The lone ranger non-flu shot recipient of the family has not gotten it. Coincidence? I think not.

I think you are right lone ranger.
Most nurses are brainwashed to believe they are necessary and every facility that accepts Medicaid has to have a 90% vaccination rate of employees to be eligible to receive full reimbursement checkmarks.... Thank you ACA and Obama admin docs.
Im more convinced now than ever that vaccines are dangerous and we in the medical field are causing more damage than good by giving them... It's an insidious damage.

I said weeks ago this would be the response from the doom and gloom crowd when the hysteria numbers didn't actually happen

You know what, you bring up another interesting point.

How can someone in the general public get their hands on this and be able to drive up demand for it?

Is this a prescribed medication?
