Showing Original Post only (View all)Majority of people with COVID-19 going to work, survey finds [View all]
https://www.wmcactionnews5.com/2020/11/15/majority-people-with-covid-going-work-survey-finds/MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Shelby County health officials say a major reason theyre seeing more COVID-19 cases stems from infected people going to work and continuing to socialize with family and friends.
In a survey with more than 300 people whove been infected, 53 percent admitted to going to work during their infectious period, when they could pass the virus to others.
When we see people with mild symptoms, they have a new onset cough or feel fatigued or feel a little bit off, said David Sweat with the Shelby County Health Department. They do what we typically do in America. They just kind of push through and still go to work.

The survey also found 27 percent of people with COVID-19 admitted to going to a social activity when they were infectious.
A bit more at link, explaining how covidiots take their mass off at work and become "lax" in social situations.
Once again, I am left wondering how the hell people become this stupid and so egocentric?
Guessing this is pretty typical of those "red areas" of states with soaring covid case nubers.
Mystery solved: Egocentric asshats!

Exactly. Most people have no sick leave, and those that do are penalized for using it.

Yep moreso than trump in some ways. Trump is just all self-protective instinct.

Moscow's Bitch McConnell is giddy over putting drones in the position of work or die.
