I am so fāg pissed. The ER docs make house calls in this situation, BTW.
I (and all the āTier Iā exposures to) Typhoid Jose have the following prescriptions, daily:
- hydrochloroquine 2X/day, 21 days
- zinc, 500 mg 2X/day (empty stomach, coffee with no cream permitted)
- Vitamin C, 500 mg 2X/day
- 81mg aspirin 1X/day (full stomach)
- Vitamin D, 5000 iu 1X/day
No Zpack unless symptomatic.
Take Tylenol or whatever if I get a fever. Call doctor if above 100.1.
Sent home with a laser thermometer and a deal you put on your finger that checks blood oxygenation, which I have to send results for 2X/day for 14 days. Hooks to an app with the phone.
And I get to stay in a shitty townhouse I own for 14 days, in this shitty town, if no symptoms. By chance, I filled it up with food that should last 14 days. I cannot travel back to my house in NM, even if my family leaves.
I am already bored and pissed, so I will be posting here regularly.

Thatās awful what happened to you and your company. And the dude didnāt even bother to let you all know youād been exposed!?!? This is why we canāt have nice things. SMH.

Coming to work sick has pissed me off for years. I think itās a cultural work ethic thing leftover from the great depression. Like if you miss a day of work someone else will take your job and your family will die.
When we have retirement parties and they say āIn 37 years Avon never used a sick dayā I think āwhat an asshole!ā

Shitty meth using parents who write ābest parents ever!ā at the end of their letters.
I have not heard of this as a preventative measure for covid in case of possible exposure, who put you on this?
Theyāre referring to themselves as that at the end of their own letters? Weird, haha.
Iām guessing this is related to your new(-ish, donāt remember how long itās been) children. My mom took in my little cousin for about 8 months last year. Her sister in law was using and selling meth, and had to sit some time in jail. I care about her, honestly believe that sheās actually a decent person, and sheās doing fantastic now, but she would do similar things during phone calls and visits. It pissed us off, but in the end itās usually just a person with serious issues and incredible guilt trying to make themselves feel better, often without realizing it. Iām sure you know this though.
You seem like a good dude - keep doing what youāre doing and your kids will have zero issues deciding whoās the greatest parents in their life.
(If this was entirely unrelated to your kids, my bad! 
)

I used to feel that way about those assholes in elementary school who got perfect attendance. Wankers.
I mean, theyāre on meth - Iād imagine their perception of reality is slightly skewed. I would just assume everything they write is hyperbolic.

Iām undecided on what pisses me off more from a MGMT perspective: the person who comes in sick, or the person who uses their PTO within 3 days of earning it.
I have a middle age guy, sole provider for family of 4, mediocre at his job. We earn about 4ish hrs of PTO every 2 weeks. This guy will, like clockwork, call in sick with ānoā warning within 3-4 days of earning a full day of PTO regardless of what deadline we are under. He has earned 4 hours and called in sick that afternoon before, leaving another mngr high and dry and missing a deadline. I donāt think he has ever accumulated more than 2 days of PTO in the 5 years Iāve been here.
When our president announced that we qualified for the CARES act and jobs were garaunteed for the next 8 weeks, guess who was out sick the next day? Dude has been on thin ice for a few years, but our industry has been so hot the last few years we canāt afford to lose even a mediocre worker in his role.
But, coming in sick can take out 10 people in the office. More shittiness for the buck haha.
He was the doctor the health department sent over. According to his card, heās the head of Infectious Diseases at the hospital at a larger town from where we are. According to his LinkedIn, heās a professor at Texas Tech Medical Center.
FWIW, my wife is a PA (not particularly involved with Covid ā Dermatology) and she went on message boards for PAs. This combo, with various iterations (particularly the aspirin is new) is what is given to first line care workers by more aggressive doctors.
Her dad is a surgeon and also inquired. Says it probably wonāt do much to prevent an infection, but is the most common protocol to prevent symptom/complications if infection is very likely. Our Tier 1 group (the group that had direct contact) is probably going to be infected ā drove in a vehicle for 8 hours total, was in a drill site trailer, and then there is the guy who shared a welder mask. Had three doctors and a nurse tell me infection is very likely.
So far, my test (as of yesterday) is negative, no symptoms today (except I am mildly hung over from starting to bing watch the entire Marvel Universe, in order, while drinking). Havenāt had a drink in months. I forgot how badly I react.
But itās too early to say. Get testing again in 6 days.

Just got tested myself- my company had a cleaning guy test positive, didnāt send anyone whose desks he cleans to get tested, only sent me home because I told them I had talked face to face with him two days prior to his diagnosis, and I had to get tested of my own accord. This is the tip of the iceberg with stuff my company has done.
And yeah, the nose swab was uncomfortable to say the least.
Very funny. (Canāt reply to your post, for some reason ā when I hit reply, it gives me flapās post.)
From the tone of the coworkers ā who are hourly and just SOL for pay due to line shut down, too big for PPP loan ā there is an ass-whipping in store if he shows up.
I expect him to move on without being fired.

Probably for the best, especially if there are a few guys that just donāt GAF about prison. And there always are.
Iāve worked with those people as well, and my wife has employees like that. It sucks you canāt fire them, because everybody knows what theyāre doing. Theyāre also the ones who come to work sick because they used up their time last week when they were hung over.

The thing that pisses me off is a dirty toilet.
Bowl or seat?
Does it matter?
