California Department of Public Health - health care workers who test positive for COVID-19 and are asymptomatic can return to work immediately.

More science. We just got the numbers on the deaths from the CDC - 75% had at least 4 comorbidities. Aside from nursing homes, seems like hospitals should have the highest concentration of comorbidities. Letting infected workers into hospitals doesn't sound like a good idea. Something doesn't make sense.

SALINAS, Calif. —
As COVID-19 cases surge and hospital admissions increase, many hospitals are dealing with a severe staffing shortage. In response, the California Department of Public Health announced new guidelines for health care workers, which indicate that health care workers who test positive for COVID-19 and are asymptomatic can return to work immediately.

Although, they do need to wear an N95 mask, keep distance from people as much as possible and are to only treat COVID-19 positive patients. The new guidelines are temporary and are scheduled to end Feb. 1.


Plenty of health care workers are against the new guidelines. Georgette Bradford, who is a Kaiser Ultrasound technician and board member of the United Healthcare Workers West said, “Those that work in the clinic like myself, we don't have a COVID floor. Everything is mixed. So you can't tell an ultrasound tech or an X-ray tech in the clinic, you're just going to treat COVID patients.”

Bradford says COVID-19 heightened an already existing shortage and that these new guidelines will only make matters worse. She said, “Because of heightened exposures of more coworkers getting infected and then we turn around and say, well, go to work positive, don't quarantine, don't test. How is that going to limit our staffing shortage? The logic is not there.”

There's nothing scientific about our dipshit Democrat's hairtrigger reactions to something they don't understand at all. I have to think that even hard core Democrats are seeing how destructive and even deadly this administration's COVID response is. Vaccination mandates-no. On line schools-no. Mask mandates-no. Suppression of Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine- no. Shortages of tests and monoclonal antibodies-why? Refusal to treat the infected until they need hospitalization- that's murder. Lockdowns, worker mandates, vaccination passports to come- hell no. The only conclusion, other than total incompetence, that we can come to about this administration, is that they are willing to let people die to protect big pharma's profits.

The Rs are no different. Pharma owns both parties. If that isn’t evident to all by now, something is wrong.

That's true. The Rs, especially the neocons, are also big pharma ass kissers. But Democrats have the edge going all the way back to when Bill Bradley was a NJ Senator. Pharmaceuticals, which are largely headquartered in NJ, were responsible for Dollar Bill's political success. They've been buying influence forever and they're good at it. I'm looking for someone with the balls to take big pharma on and I doubt that list would include any Democrats

If the the guidelines are following safe "science" why would they be temporary? And why would so many fully JABBED health care workers in CA have the FJB flu to begin with?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

They fired the unvaccinated medical workers, nurses, doctors who aren't sick and then allow the vaccinated who are sick to work. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

It's not safe science. Coronavirologists knew of the vaccination faults in 2008.
