Manage to avoid is this long oh well. Wheres my hazard pay??? If Im required to stay home and miss work then they need to it me for it. This is horse puckey!!
I have covid too. If you are vaccinated, then you might get paid for the time you're off. If you haven't already been paid for being off with covid. Talk to your store manager or HR.

See? Right there proves what horse sht this is. If you're vaxed and caught it any way, OBVIOUSLY IT DOESN'T WORK.
So why manadate it?
I had covid 2 months ago. Prolly had it and didn't know for at least a week; a random test picked it up. On test results I was over it in less than 3 days.
I've literally had hangovers and head colds that felt worse than that. People need to FINALLY wake tfu about this sht. If your immune system is remotely ok, it is NOTHING.
My store lenient so they'll accept an over the counter test kit and a photo of it. Contact management, they'll fill out the paper work and give you some compensation.
Our fes has been in quarantine multiple times (family members) and has had it twice. The company allows up to 2 or 3 covid pays before they say no more and force you to use your vacation or sick pay.
Doesn't anybody find it odd that so many people who are vaxxed and boosted to the hilt are catching Covid over and over again? The "scientific studies" say unvaccinated people should be several times more likely to catch Covid more than once, but the real world evidence doesn't support that.

obviously it doesn't entirely work for completely preventing covid infection. most vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infection. this doesn't mean they don't have some value. i don't agree with mandating the vaccine. also, good for you that your covid wasn't that bad. it hit me harder than that. i'm still coughing on day six and yesterday i was short of breath going for a walk. i'm in my thirties with no other health conditions. i don't want any more lockdowns or forced masking, but this is also still a virus that can and does cause either lasting harm or death in people. at the very least, it's worth being off a few days.

it seems to me that antibodies from infection last longer the sicker you get or the more virus you have in your system. so if you have the vaccine and your body mounts an immune response, your infection will be less severe/less viral load. which means you won't have protection as long. in theory, you're correct, vaxxed people are getting sicker more often (i don't know if this is actually true but let's assume it is for the sake of argument) but they're not getting as severely sick, so they don't have protection for as long.
having the vaccine is like being outnumbered by an enemy army but knowing they will attack at dawn. not having the vaccine is like being ambushed at night. more casualties.

Hey dick head Kool Aid slurper: I've had it twice and shook it off like it wunt NUTHIN. No mask, no vax and no boosters. The guy you responded to is right, the science doesn't support this $hit.

why am i a dick head kool aid slurper? i literally didn't give a black-and-white answer but a reasoned middle-of-the-road one. what if people are both right on some things and wrong on others?
Everybody think back to how this all layed out originally:
For positive covid results companies everywhere were mandating 2 weeks quarantine---PAID.
There were three rounds of covid stimulus checks from the government---roughly around the same time as the presidential election cycle.
Now?
You get 5 days off, unpaid if you don't have sick time left, then get back to work---even if you're still sick, but not running a fever. No more stimulus checks. No more quarantine. This thing has been relegated to the status of the common cold.
.....and yet we're still being bombarded with this bullsht propaganda fest of 'wear your mask' 'take your vax'. They're still pushing that sht. ---Plus now they're winding things up for another shut down / take over with this monkey pox bullsht.
And people are already buying that too. Nobody learned anything from the last two years.
Viruses aren't the enemy; neither is our socialist occupation government. It's stupid, frightened beast people who blindly let themselves be manipulated by any ploy-----so long as it was 'on the news'.

Right? I dont even feel all that bad but a few body aches and a headache.
Please refer to the cdc covid regulations when you catch covid. if you head out you are to religiously mask and please wear it correctly. Work is allowed to give you 2 weeks off but it isn't required. If vaxxed company can give you covid pay but it must be filed by the manager to complete the paperwork.

I don't find it odd at all...I just tested positive for COVID myself after having two negative tests...I had COVID for five weeks in November of 2020...Didn't think I would get it again, but here I am with more doctor's notes in hand and a positive test result...Somehow I must have gotten it from a family member...But, it's different symptoms this time...Feels more like the flu...A really bad flu! Last time, it was the loss of taste and smell, night sweats, rapid heartbeat and more...This time, more sneezing, runny nose and a bad cough that won't go away...I don't think this Omicron version is like the earlier versions...There will be other variants to come, too, but at least, I'm not in the hospital this time...And I've been vaccinated AND boosted! Fortunately, I haven't had to go to the hospital, but we dont know about future variants...They could totally bring us back to Square One...I haven't taken my mask off, but many others have and we still wonder why we're even talking about this stuff two years later...We'll be talking about it FIVE YEARS FROM NOW because no one seems to get how serious this thing is! Sure, you can have minimal to no symptoms, unlike myself and SEEM fine...But either way, you can spread it to others...And they can spread it to their friends and family...You guys might be sick and tired of this whole thing, but if you think it's going away, you're badly mistaken! This RESURGENCE has proven that that's not how COVID works! It will keep coming back and we'll keep catching it...And the sooner we all DEAL with that inevitability, the sooner we can figure out better ways to beat it or at least manage it...Sticking our heads in the sand isn't gonna fix the problem...

Wow! COVID already beat? It must be SOOOO nice to be that removed from reality...I'm glad I'm not! For crying out loud, EVEN DR. FAUCI got the COVID...If HE can get it, ANYONE can!
You guys need to think a little and use your brains...It probably helps to NOT watch "Faux News" all day, too...Just because you're not affected the same way does not mean you can negate others' experiences that easily...It's MUCH HARDER to think outside your comfort zone, but you might want to try it sometime...

You know what I just said to my department guys...Every one of you guys are gonna get this thing eventually!!! That is, if the monkeypox doesn't get you first!!! Here's the deal...We had a co-manager off for 3-4 weeks just because she kept testing positive...Our former store manager who just moved to a new location got it again...He had it once at the beginning of the pandemic...I'm not sure how serious he took it before, but apparently, he got it twice and is now quarantining...I'm the guy who tested positive above after two negative tests...When I was gone, one of the co-managers QUIT because he was fed up with the extra sh** he had to deal with, I guess...There must be a lot of that lately, from what I've been hearing...But, what can you do??? Our grocery manager got it and was out 2 weeks...Another guy in our department was delayed overseas for 3 weeks, from a vacation because he caught it in Europe and they wouldn't let him back into the country until he tested negative, due to their strict rules...And now, one of my department managers is on his own vacation and his "back-up" just called in the other day to say that he has now tested positive for COVID...He did an at-home test and yes, it's positive, but to get paid, he had to go get a PCR test with the doctor and THAT turned out positive...So NOW, we are down two guys and a third person, too, for another unspecified illness in just ONE department!!! And it NEVER ends!!! A couple of the front end guys apparently got it, too, recently...They want a lot out of us, but COVID apparently doesn't care WHAT KROGER WANTS...COVID does it's own thing with no regard to timing or anything...And this is the worst week, a holiday week!!! Are you KIDDING me??? I'm sorry, but those of you who don't think this COVID is anything but some little flu, you're full of bullsh** and I'm getting real tired of having to sign a paper every time someone goes out sick with this stuff!!! If these cases aren't COVID, then I don't know what else they could be!!! The normal cold has never had THIS MANY PEOPLE out at the same time!!! And it's not as transmissible as these latest Omicron strains are...Give me a damn break!!! I can see what's going on with my own eyes!!! And STILL, we don't take this thing seriously enough!!! When are we gonna open our eyes, people???

We get it. You're a blubbering pussy. If it wasn't for this sh it you'd be crying about something else, cuz that's how your kind is; there's a life time of bitchy issues yall are ALWAYS screaming about!
Just catch this sh it and code from it yourself already. Please.

I don't find it odd at all...I just tested positive for COVID myself after having two negative tests...I had COVID for five weeks in November of 2020...Didn't think I would get it again, but here I am with more doctor's notes in hand and a positive test result...Somehow I must have gotten it from a family member...But, it's different symptoms this time...Feels more like the flu...A really bad flu! Last time, it was the loss of taste and smell, night sweats, rapid heartbeat and more...This time, more sneezing, runny nose and a bad cough that won't go away...I don't think this Omicron version is like the earlier versions...There will be other variants to come, too, but at least, I'm not in the hospital this time...And I've been vaccinated AND boosted! Fortunately, I haven't had to go to the hospital, but we dont know about future variants...They could totally bring us back to Square One...I haven't taken my mask off, but many others have and we still wonder why we're even talking about this stuff two years later...We'll be talking about it FIVE YEARS FROM NOW because no one seems to get how serious this thing is! Sure, you can have minimal to no symptoms, unlike myself and SEEM fine...But either way, you can spread it to others...And they can spread it to their friends and family...You guys might be sick and tired of this whole thing, but if you think it's going away, you're badly mistaken! This RESURGENCE has proven that that's not how COVID works! It will keep coming back and we'll keep catching it...And the sooner we all DEAL with that inevitability, the sooner we can figure out better ways to beat it or at least manage it...Sticking our heads in the sand isn't gonna fix the problem...
Covid is already beat. It was never that serious to begin with.
Wow! COVID already beat? It must be SOOOO nice to be that removed from reality...I'm glad I'm not! For crying out loud, EVEN DR. FAUCI got the COVID...If HE can get it, ANYONE can!
You guys need to think a little and use your brains...It probably helps to NOT watch "Faux News" all day, too...Just because you're not affected the same way does not mean you can negate others' experiences that easily...It's MUCH HARDER to think outside your comfort zone, but you might want to try it sometime...
You really are stupid. It has degraded to the flu. The shots are useless.
Yup guy is a special needs tard no doubt. covid is done. any strains are just mild flus. It was never that serious to begin with just fake bloated stats.
You know what I just said to my department guys...Every one of you guys are gonna get this thing eventually!!! That is, if the monkeypox doesn't get you first!!! Here's the deal...We had a co-manager off for 3-4 weeks just because she kept testing positive...Our former store manager who just moved to a new location got it again...He had it once at the beginning of the pandemic...I'm not sure how serious he took it before, but apparently, he got it twice and is now quarantining...I'm the guy who tested positive above after two negative tests...When I was gone, one of the co-managers QUIT because he was fed up with the extra sh** he had to deal with, I guess...There must be a lot of that lately, from what I've been hearing...But, what can you do??? Our grocery manager got it and was out 2 weeks...Another guy in our department was delayed overseas for 3 weeks, from a vacation because he caught it in Europe and they wouldn't let him back into the country until he tested negative, due to their strict rules...And now, one of my department managers is on his own vacation and his "back-up" just called in the other day to say that he has now tested positive for COVID...He did an at-home test and yes, it's positive, but to get paid, he had to go get a PCR test with the doctor and THAT turned out positive...So NOW, we are down two guys and a third person, too, for another unspecified illness in just ONE department!!! And it NEVER ends!!! A couple of the front end guys apparently got it, too, recently...They want a lot out of us, but COVID apparently doesn't care WHAT KROGER WANTS...COVID does it's own thing with no regard to timing or anything...And this is the worst week, a holiday week!!! Are you KIDDING me??? I'm sorry, but those of you who don't think this COVID is anything but some little flu, you're full of bullsh** and I'm getting real tired of having to sign a paper every time someone goes out sick with this stuff!!! If these cases aren't COVID, then I don't know what else they could be!!! The normal cold has never had THIS MANY PEOPLE out at the same time!!! And it's not as transmissible as these latest Omicron strains are...Give me a damn break!!! I can see what's going on with my own eyes!!! And STILL, we don't take this thing seriously enough!!! When are we gonna open our eyes, people???
I want to answer your sentence I highlighted in red and ask you a question. Honestly, EXACTLY what are we all supposed to do IF WE actually "open our eyes" as you put it?????????? What does that even mean? What do I do (BE SPECIFIC) to satisfy you and SHOW YOU that I have opened my eyes???? I want to hear honest, direct down-to-earth feedback, no runarounds.
Are we supposed to PANIC and run out in the streets in a screaming fit? Are we supposed to hide under our beds? Are we supposed to all get the vaccine shot? (well, I already did. The shots will reduce the severity of COVID for most people, but still millions of people are getting Covid again even after being shot and boosted several times over!). So what should be done so you can stop whining? I'm, serious, please advise us. Thank you.
You need to call your store and report it to the manager. Please don't go in. CDC says 5 days off quarantine. You can carry it out longer with a dr note if need be. Make sure you took a picture of that positive take home test kit. Save it if you need to. There's a 800# on the test kits you can use to get a dr note for it. Now that most testing sites are wrapping up I'm finding most employers are allowing the home testing kits.
People think they're false and don't work but that's a total lie. Most people use them too early or have another virus other than covid. My brother recently caught it and it tested positive. I have had multiple coworkers test positive with these strips. They work.

Well, for one thing, we don't need to panic...HOWEVER, we need better vaccines than what we've got presently...I find it hard to believe that the pharma companies and scientists haven't been studying this thing for a long time now (They've had TWO AND A HALF years already!) and how it evades protection and immunity, especially this new BA.5 subvariant, which is the worst version we've seen yet...The vaccines we have offer much protection, but they have to evolve as this virus evolves...Our ways of thinking have to evolve, too...And come on, most people might be boosted ONCE, but SEVERAL TIMES OVER??? That's a little much, don't you think? We're not THERE yet, considering many still haven't gotten their FIRST shots...And of course, this is summer...Everyone, including the customers, are running around without their masks on...The problem is...They are making it worse...When the problem gets worse and more people get sick, that means we may have to be forced to wear the masks instead of voluntarily choosing to wear them...Again, this is summer...The thought is that once fall hits and the cold weather comes, we could see a BIG SPIKE in serious infections and illness, so letting our guards down now is not an option...Everyone wants to make this about politics, but it's REALLY a health issue...I can't force anyone to go to a doctor, but I can strongly recommend that and taking care of one's self physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually...If you're young, you might not see the importance of these things, but as you get older and hopefully MUCH MORE WISER, all this stuff will become very apparent to you...Fortunately, I'm a pretty good influencer among my co-workers and they're starting to see MY side of things...You can do what you will, but as for me, the masks and the precautions stay!
Oh, and if you ask me...All these states should have never been left to their own devices in dealing with this thing...There should have been standard rules for EVERYONE from the get-go! Now, it's all a patchwork of half-ass solutions...Some work, some don't, but because some states don't see this as serious as others do, that means that we'll continue to have more and worse infections as time goes on...

Bottom line. The COVID virus will be here from now on, and it will eventually be treated like any other virus............ just a part of life -- you take a chance. Life is full of pros and cons, you take chances - some good and some bad. People get pneumonia , other strains of flu, bad colds, bronchitis, other diseases, off and on, all around the world. Some percentage of those people get really sick and die. That's life.
But no reason to force everybody including low-risk more-or-less healthy people to wear stupid masks that are practically useless. The great majority of those people you see in the stores that are not wearing their masks are simply wising up --- they are adjusting to the obvious reality that they will remember Covid is a constant possibility, but not something to over-react about. Life, a wonderful thing, in the best country on earth, the US, enjoy it and quit obsessing over what MIGHT Happen.
Long term studies are showing that the states that locked down the most and had the strongest mask mandates, etc, DID NO BETTER in controlling the Covid than states with more lax regulations. Florida is a Free State and has done better than most other states. And Biden and his cronies lambasted the Governor of Florida over a year ago for trying to keep his state Free! The long term studies will reveal the travesty of forcing people to stay home, wear masks in airports, do online classes, shut down their businesses ............. its a MESS all caused by government agencies over-reacting. The suicide rate for kids and teens has skyrocketed because of their mental health, trying to take classes by computer at home for a year or two straight. For most kids it doesn't work nearly as well.
Masks are a joke. Covid will be here from now on. Please, deal with it. I'm sorry to sound rude, but it is better you face the truth. If you want to keep wearing a mask the rest of your life, go right ahead. This is still a free country (so far).
Unless you're going around having sex with gay or bisexual men or having sex with someone who's come into contact with a gay or bisexual man, you should be safe. Although anyone can get it, just like anyone can get AIDS under the right circumstances, the disease rate is disproportionately high among sexually active gay men.
Another guy in our department was delayed overseas for 3 weeks, from a vacation because he caught it in Europe and they wouldn't let him back into the country until he tested negative, due to their strict rules...
I wrote that...Same guy who had it overseas tells me the other day that he wasn't feeling well and was wondering if our pharmacy was doing free COVID tests...He calls into the store later that day...and yep, now HE'S POSITIVE for a second time, too...What next???
It just never ends, does it??? The guy that just caught the COVID was scheduled all week in our department to fill in for the other guy who caught COVID and then, our third was on a vacation...And they expect the skeleton crew that's left to maintain things to the normal standards we keep when everyone's actually here??? I've been around a long time in this business, but this sh** is getting way too unrealistic...And the SMART ones DAMN WELL KNOW IT!
Really, the Washington Post? Fake news. Its at the point where deaths are lower than the flu. Stop scaring people.
Agreed. Covid variants are here to stay. No sense in going out of our minds trying to scare each other about something that is going to be a simple part of life as we know it presently.
Have you heard about the TENS OF MILLIONS of Covid vaccine doses produced (by Moderna, Pfizer and other companies) that have been thrown away in recent weeks? Why? ........ because they have a fairly short shelf life, and if they are not used quickly enough they have to be discarded......... because the American public no longer trusts the pharmaceutical industry, or at least they don't trust them as much as they used to in years past.
The demand for the vaccines have dropped like a rock even though the government and BIG PHARMA has been trying to get everybody enthused about vaxxing and boosting over and over.
