CoVID-19
Gonna throw them a couple bucks. Daughter has been going through the math paces via Khan Academy.
Confirmed cases already up 25% since I left work on Friday, sitting at 125Kish. I'm sure a big part of the spike is from more tests just getting done, but it's going to be a while before we even get a handle on the extent. Buckle up y'all, it's gonna be a while.
Question for the CO disease monkeys and/or medical professionals.
Perhaps I missed it, but were you guys not given or did you not take tests for Coivd for a reason?
I ask because new company policy states "COVID-19 – Employees who experience symptoms of COVID-19, are encouraged not to come to work and it is advised you contact your health care professional. Employees must notify their Supervisor or Manager in the event of a positive test result for the COVID-19 virus. The employee will need to provide the Company a copy of a positive test result from their medical provider. Any co-workers determined to have worked in close contact with an individual (less than 6ft for more than 10 minutes) with a confirmed positive test result of COVID-19, will be quarantined. Any affected maintenance employee will be pay protected, for any scheduled hours missed within a 14-day calendar period from the date of exposure to a medically confirmed COVID-19 employee."
Obviously, if tests are in short supply or a doc (reasonably) doesn't want to give one to an otherwise healthy person this policy doesn't do squat.

One would just assume that was Florida.
Kaiser isn’t testing people unless you fall into an at risk category or are having complications from symptoms. That was last week. I’m not sure how testing protocols will change as they become more available. I know if you contact Kaiser and have symptoms but no overwhelming complications, they will basically write you a note to self quarantine for two weeks.
This is kind of what I'm suspecting. We don't have kaiser offered to us here, at least in CO, but I assume other insurers are following a similar plan.
Not all heroes / "morans" wear capes:
Yea because we have the same lingo you posted for our work. Basically three days off if you feel sick. After that you need a ‘test’. But I’m a perfect example of who they wouldn’t test unless I was having major issues. 38, male. I think they would just write me a note and tell me to stay home. Not sure exactly how that would work with covered time off at this point since we have a different time tracking code to use than our normal sick or vacation. AFAIK, the two weeks has to be kept track of since it should be ‘covered’ by the Feds. Whatever that means. Reimbursement or whatever I would assume....
Me too. As is @stoney and @6thElement I suspect. Which is why I'm seeking some clarity on this to bring up with management. If they are going to go strict "Letter of the law" on policy no one will get COVID-19 pay. But maybe that's the point.
Yea. I was wondering if that was a way for employees to get screwed. “Hey, you didn’t get a test so you have to stay at home on your own time.”

My company policy pays the hourly folk. The salary folk are PTO protected for when they cannot work.
I effectively could not work for 3 days at all and have been working partially for 3. Those will all be factored into the adjustments for my annual goals as well.
I liked the term " Covidiot " posted in the comments.These donkeys..

The question though, IIRC you did not get an actual COVID test, correct? Was that at the discretion of the Doc?
The brewery down the street let’s you order online with Venmo or PayPal, and they just your beer on the patio with a post it note so you know which order is yours. The best local booze dealer let’s you order online and they’ll drop it on your doorstep without ever seeing you. This is a golden age for underage drinking, just a shame I’m too old to enjoy it.

I hope when they tossed the groceries, they tossed them at him, and I hope they were all canned goods.
Correct. I told my company what they said and how I was diagnosed. They changed how i am to act regarding company employee interaction to an as-if tested positive though vs. assumed. If they wanted to challenge it, a labor atty would probably love to see that they are treating me as having a positive test from that standpoint but not regarding pay.
I was talking with a friend via text earlier this week, and she said something that struck me. She said "My therapist and I were talking about this and how it’s kind of like seeing the planet move through a weird collective grief process" which kinda made some sense... and then I found this article and it dove a little deeper. It was comforting, ish.

That Discomfort You’re Feeling Is Grief
During the global pandemic, a palpable sense of collective grief has emerged. Grief expert David Kessler says that grief is actually multiple feelings that we must manage. In an interview with HBR, he explains how the classic five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, acceptance)...

The wife and I were talking about this. Her work says the same thing, positive test = 2 weeks paid, otherwise pto.on you. So can you then request a test based on employer requirement?

Holy shit...
getting closer to the queen....come on chuck...hang in there...
This is kind of my question, and certainly lends itself to all sorts of discussion about the failings of american "health care". Are we all supposed to "demand" tests that other people might actually need just to get PTO? That's Grade A horseshit.
My work is making all employees work two weeks on two weeks off. Full paid without using our PTO. My roommate is a nurse and had a fever yesterday so she went and got tested. They said 72hrs for results. Luckily my 2 weeks off starts tomorrow
Good luck dude.
the bright side is she got tested.....
