At my hospital...
💊 RED PILL 💊
I work for a VA hospital. Privy to higher up information. Literally every hospital has triple digit employees out with covid, obviously the vast majority (90%) are vaccinated, while actual veterans coming in (much lower vaccination rate) is pretty low and most are sent home. I truly believe the dark winter, that's only going to get worse, will be one for the vaccinated, especially those who have gotten a booster. We aren't overcrowded, but at the same time, we are greatly understaffed. I wonder when the medical staff are going to wake up. A majority are still part of big pharmas flock.
What? The employees are sent home too. This implies the employees aren’t exactly like the Covid patients. In fact the employees are at home and not even at the hospital.
Lots of nurses will call in sick if they have a reason. I have covid
They don’t want us to test, then they have to wait until we test negative to come back and that could be weeks after infection is cleared.
Same shit happened with the airlines calling out sick. They have the employers stuck, they can’t test us, or we’d be out a paid month, yet again it’s a wave so they can’t harass us because we could say, I will get tested then fine, and even if a portion came up positive they will be paying for that.
It’s employees calling out sick but they’re not sick.
Wrong. They are tested via employee health at the hospital. They are given an antigen test and a pcr test. Both could give false positives, but they aren't tested unless they are symptomatic, and if they aren't symptomatic, they have to stay working.
Seems like the hospitals would want to test their employees, because a positive diagnosis gets them the Covid modifier on payment/reimbursement. I wonder, though, if lots of these employees are getting the seasonal flu. Hospital employees can't be at work with anything communicable to patients, so they stay home for safety. Other jobs aren't so watchful. (not condoning going to work sick, though)
Any chance some of these shortages are a form of 'blue flu'?
