Hopefully this means extended unemployment benefits are exhausted and all these people going back to work.

I agree with this thread, but a lot of people need that positive test to miss work if you are too sick to work. For me it’s, “DO NOT come to work if you are sick, but I need doctors note for HR if you are sick.”
With that said, it all sucks.

I had to get a negative test to go back to work this morning. Nowhere on the northshore had at home tests in stock. Got to an urgent care at 6:15am that opened at 6:30am and 15 people were already in line. Didn’t get my “rapid” results until 9:15

I waited in line for 18 hours. Told the PA that I had a mild cough, sore throat and runny nose. He told me to take advil, over the counter cough medicine and have some warm soup.
Thank God I waited. Would've hated to see the consequences if I handled that on my own. Could've been catastrophic.

It’s the holidays. You have a slight cold. Normally, yeh you would roll to the party and just say “hey guys I have a slight cold” and kinda somewhat stay away. That’s how it was done forever
But now, that slight cold can be pretty damn problematic to 80 year old relatives
The slightest cold has always been pretty damn problematic to 80 year old relatives. Covid hasn't changed that fact.

no it isn't, b/c people are stupid, and b/c of social media it makes it easier for the rest of us to realize just how many stupid people there are in this country.

Thank you, media, for driving panic and absurdity in the general populace
“Flatten the curve” was the first message, now the media and current testing/quarantine/osha mandates are driving even more people out into public, using supplies and causing shortages and straining pharmacies and doctors offing

Are these people who need a test for work?
A lot of doctors offices are requiring a test before an appointment.
It's absolute stupidity.

Just got tested. Had to do it in order to go to Belize this Friday!

4. If symptoms worsen, go to a hospital
I'd avoid doing this... everyone that died from this "deadly pandemic" did so in the hospital. Tells me that they misdiagnosed it.
We'd be without homeless people right now if this thing were as bad as they say it is.

And were you actually sick? why are you needing a negative test to go to work?

Chick Fila does this like every day.

Because his employer said so. Not sure why that is hard to comprehend.

If you cant admit covid is far different than traditional older coronavirus strains for older people you aren’t worth talking to

As it devolves into weaker and weaker strains, please explain in detail how it is “far different” from other seasonal/endemic coronaviruses.
Maybe back in spring of 2020 but not now.

If you leave the USA, you have to show a negative test to return, regardless of vaccine status.
CDC
There are thousands that have paid for flights and stays internationally that require tests. A family of four would need 8 negative tests to make it home from vacation.
Whether you believe it or not, there are employers trying to set up requirements for checking negative tests, but they can’t execute it because of the shortage.
By the time they can, the variant of the month will have already burned through their area. Then there are the folks buying them up because of the public knowledge of shortage, “just in case.” This is what created the Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020.

I think the lines are people trying to get out of going to work

All to get a Covid test that could have been achieved with a rapid test at Walgreens and for a diagnosis that will include: 1. Go home 2. Get in bed 3. Take Tylenol/Nyquil 4. If symptoms worsen, go to a hospital No wonder there's a strain on Urgent Cares/ERs. People just go to them in a panic.
Covid paralysis driven by the media.
Some lady on my neighborhood board posted asking what urgent cares were open because he 7 year old tested positive. His symptoms. A slight fever and sore throat. That’s it. That’s why they wanted urgent care.
Just let your kid rest in bed and monitor to see if their basic cold gets worse.

I’m saying I don’t think someone is a Karen or an idiot if they want to get tested when they have cold like symptoms before going hang around grandma for the holidays
