Page 3-4: Djokovic produces documents of testing positive on a PCR test on 16th Dec (and negative on 22nd). Page 26: He mentions the same two days but the month of November instead (maybe an innocent slip of tongue?) Anyway, his defence is that any COVID infection before 6 months of travel qualifies for exemption. He confirms that he is unvaccinated, and was previously infected in June 2020. | ||

No quarantine period, no tests needed. So we now live in a world where HCWs get suspended or fired for not getting vaccinated from COVID but they are approved to work while having COVID. | ||

Its an odd mix, if it was purely money you would have forced vaccination and super harsh penalties for amy risky behavior. Yes I agree. But since forced vaccination can't be a thing in the US, all the crap eventually settles down to the worker bees at the bottom. It's the employees that have to pick up and support the pieces, sacrificing themselves over and over again, wave after wave. I'm more in favor of "if we're short staffed, we're short staffed." | ||

Do you get paid for being off? I’d largely agree with the last point, with the exception of genuine critical health and emergency services if they’re getting pushed past capacity | ||

The real question is, can people actually get time off? | ||

https://globalnews.ca/news/8502714/ontario-incidental-covid-hospitalizations-january-11/ The province indicated that there are currently 3,220 people in hospital with COVID-19 — around 54 per cent of them were admitted because of the virus, while about 46 per cent were admitted for other reasons but tested positive for COVID-19. ... Of those hospitalized, 477 are in ICUs, which is up by 39. Around 83 per cent of those in intensive care were admitted because of COVID, while around 17 per cent were admitted for other reasons. In other news, we now have figures from Ontario about hospitalization with/from covid. Hospitalizations as a whole are up, the majority of ICU patients are because of covid, not with covid. As "mild" as omicron is, it's crushing society as a whole because of how many people it's taking out. Side Note: I managed to dodge omicron apparently and got a booster now, I think I'm probably clear til the next variant pops up. | ||

Getting sick doctors and nurses to still come in isn't because of money over everything, its because you absolutely do not want to have to resort to medical triage. | ||

Getting sick doctors and nurses to still come in isn't because of money over everything, its because you absolutely do not want to have to resort to medical triage. I think we all know the problem. My fight is that I feel the US public has not really empathized or felt what healthcare workers had to go through as a whole. I think medical triage is absolutely appropriate, even in times when we don't have a pandemic. We would rather force healthcare workers to work while sick and infectious than force people to get a couple jabs. Obviously people will think my opinion is biased since I'm a healthcare provider but it's hard to hide this frustration and anger any longer. | ||

And if it isn’t spreading among staff, and they are no longer symptomatic, it makes sense for them to work I'm not sure what the distinguishing thing is Mohdoo but in my experience, with a positivity rate of almost 25% in CT, everyone is catching Covid whether they are "living life" or not. One could argue, that for those with 2 vaccinations and the most recent booster, now is the "best" time to catch the virus. | ||

Or a simply choice 'take the jab or sign here that you will renounce all medical care if you catch Covid' and lets all get on with our lives. If people want to keep being stupid they can take their chance with god. | ||
