It's so frustrating. A long-term plan for a pandemic would definitely involve employee assistance when they test positive - whether in a white-collar, blue-collar, or service/hospitality role. Something to keep people from spreading it.
It wouldn't even be that expensive, not compared to the chaos of heaps of people being sick and unable to attend work, and the remainder not wanting to spread it, and so staying home and not being economically active...
It's just such incredible stupidity and short-sightedness.
I get the same frustrations over Covid. The governments are letting things go to seed after so long of trying to be cautious. They are so worried over another shut down and people will die.
They're little men, worried about their big standing in the world.
I was reading a novel this last week, about twenty years old. But one of the observations in it was made by a character who's gone back to her hometown to give them warning about a possible impending attack and the need to evacuate the town.
The authority that she's with asks how they should go about this, and she says effectively, "You should announce it in the public square. The mayor is good enough at his administrative stuff, but give him a crisis like this and he'll first think about how he can get re-elected, and only then about the best way to go about it."
Describes so many career politicians these days. What's the opportunities for me? And only then, Oh yeah and how can we help the people we've been elected by?
