A friend of mine works at a residential drug treatment facility in a very small town in Michigan. Last week some female residents tested positive for covid, they are not quarantined and have not been informed as to their test results. The manager of the facility has required employees from the woman’s house to also work at the men’s house with no notification there either. The situation is further compromised by the fact that the manager has the facility listed as a medical facility but not provided proper PPE. Employees have been told they must work and they must quarantine in their personal hours for 24 days past the last clients positive testing. Considering people are going to continue get ill my friend is facing ongoing quarantine during her none Working hours indefinitely. Not to mention to poor souls that get sentenced for treatment coming into the dangerous environment. And whether those already there will be released or not.
What should my friend do? She is desperately worried about her clients and she needs her job,
Drug treatment / halfway houses etc. seem to be run by contractors (imh experience). Its all about the gap between contract amount paid by city or state and cost. At times it can get dicey. Contract bidding for Government funds can be cut throat. I agree, the person effected by policy should find a new gig that is more ethical.
It is honorable to serve those truly in need!
There's a reason the states that are 100% fully opened are seeing their cases decline - it's called HERD IMMUNITY!!! We need to stop freaking testing - and just let nature take it's course!!! You can run, but it has been proven you can't hide from this.
This is not about the civid. It is about the corruption
Your friend should GET THE FUCK OUT OF MICHIGAN, or shut up and be a happy subject.
Are you normally an asshole or just on Tuesdays? Do you honestly expect her to feed the field?
I was unhappy with the rules in Texas last year, so I moved to another state. One should either fix their shit or quit bitching.
Does that make me an asshole, for suggesting that Michigan is a suckhole of suck?
It makes you a coward! Patriots don’t run! We dump the tea.
Wise men dont stand in the rain and bitch about being wet. They go inside and dry off. Enjoy the mud pit, dumbass.
Call the dept of health
She did. They are “working” on it. We are afraid our government here is broken and the situation will be swept under he rug at the highest levels. The worse that can happen is that the manager lies on some reports.
If you know of any unbiased local media reporters there (probably hard to find these days), maybe tip them off on the scandal.
We have discussed that if the health department doesn’t make progress.
