    Fucking LMAO, the US doesn’t give one fucking shit about it’s citizens as much as it cares about worker productivity.

    California is supposed to be the “lefty” state. What a fucking joke.

      They are the more progressive state. So imagine how other states are in regards to caring much.

      California must make money at all costs. Political leanings mean nothing to the machine.

    When I caught COVID I had symptoms for two weeks, and you’re telling me that if I hadn’t been WFH I would’ve had to go be around people for 13 of those 14 days while super contagious? Sure, people are supposed to be vaccinated now, but still, what a fucking joke.

    Sad but maybe at least someone will drag the virus into a mansion of some superrich prick and he’ll spend the rest of his life with brain fog.

      You don’t think the ones that are rich enough to matter (ie influence politics) actually ever interact with us plebes, do you?

      Beyond that, like Trump when he got COVID, they’ll be afforded the best treatments and you can bet your ass their insurance will cover it.

        Of course they do someone cleans their houses, someone drives their limousines, someone brings cookies to meetings with lawyers.

        Some research shows that the newer variants can hang in the air for up to 12 hours.

    I would love to see the science behind this reasoning considering everything so far still indicates you’re still potential contagious for five days with or without a fever.

    But hey, good luck with this given that the new strain is more communicable than the current batch of variants.

    Clearly no one in this thread is reading the article and wants to act like it’s still March of 2020.
