    Public Health "Experts" Allow COVID-Infected Staff To Stay On The Job

    Darian Alexander | Jan 11, 2022

    Health authorities around the U.S. are beginning to allow nurses and other
    workers infected with the coronavirus to stay on the job, [30]ABC News
    reported.

    ABC and many other mainstream outlets have suggested that this is likely
    caused by rising caseloads amidst the Omicron variant, but neglect to
    mention the other obvious and far more likely cause - Covid shot mandates
    that have resulted in the firing of thousands and thousands of health
    workers throughout the nation. In just New York alone [31]Fox News
    recently reported that more than 30,000 health care workers are out of
    jobs due to the draconian mandates.

    Many hospitals are not only swamped with cases but severely shorthanded
    because of so many employees out with COVID-19.

    [33]ABC: Health officials let COVID-infected staff stay on the job

    California health authorities announced over the weekend that hospital
    staff members who test positive for the Covid-19 virus can continue
    working as long as they are "symptom-free." ABC also admitted that
    employees who are contagious and infectious have been in some cases been
    encouraged to work as well, writing that "some hospitals in Rhode Island
    and Arizona have likewise told employees they can stay on the job if they
    have no symptoms or just mild ones."

    This was further expanded on, with the report stating that Dignity Health,
    a major hospital operator in the Phoenix area, sent out a memo stating
    that staff members who are infected with the Covid-19 virus but believe
    they are well enough to work can do so by simply requesting an exemption
    from their managers.

    "We are doing everything we can to ensure our employees can safely return
    to work while protecting our patients and staff from the transmissibility
    of COVID-19," Dignity Health said in a statement.

    The 100,000-member California Nurses Association reportedly opposed the
    new decision strongly and warned it will lead to further spread of the
    Covid-19 virus.

    Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state health leaders "are putting the needs of
    health care corporations before the safety of patients and workers," Cathy
    Kennedy, the association's president, [35]said in a statement. "We want to
    care for our patients and see them get better - not potentially infect
    them."

    THat was the case in Spain too, except it was not official. Lots of Doctors and nurses were obviously sick from the thing, but they weren't tested because there was a test shortage, and were forced to keep working because they were not official COVID cases.

    Yay s-PAIN
