I did, thanks for pointing it out

Pretty sure you just outed yourself to upvoting your own post since you are very clearly wrong. Sad

I give 0 fricks about the upvotes/downvotes. My ego isn't tied to two little arrows

The risk versus reward aspect is what I am arguing

What's the risk? She's already been exposed. Everyone in the home has been exposed. tell her to go to work and cross her fingers

So the wife is an OT and works at a Nursing home. They got there first confirmed case over the weekend of Covid. She requested two weeks off for quarantine

My wife is a nurse and works at a nursing home. They’ve treated several patients and she just keeps going to work even though we have a two young children at home. It’s her job. If every nurse had the same mentality as your wife, who would take care if anybody?


Am I the only one who thinks that’s fricked up?

Your wife is critical, she is a nurse. A little bit different.

Because her company says that she is

So then she should work.

Keep in mind her patients routinely skip or refuse therapy so they can watch a TV show, go play bingo, or just don't feel like it routinely.

Cool, that has nothing to do with her getting a paid vacation for what essentially was a non-exposure.

My wife is due in June and has treated several COVIDs, some while they were not yet diagnosed or even suspected at the time or without the proper PPE for the situation. All the while the CDC couldn't make up their mind on what pregnant healthcare workers should be doing. She still went to work.

you don't think OT's improving old people's lives, especially right now when they can't visit family, isn't critical?

Would you risk your father or mother dying over missing a couple sessions?

For what it's worth she notified all of her patients before treating any of them today and about half told her no thanks and skipped.

About as irrational as your wife thinking she shouldn't be working.

Did you miss my previous post? My wife has been around over 10 confirmed cases in her home, and she is doing the testing. Someone has to take care of these people whether they have been exposed or not


Sounds like half of those people still wanted their therapy, no?

I'm the one who told her not to so it wouldn't bring up issues on my end and me working.

I am past that point so you can quit harping on it. I am still a little amazed that no one seems to think putting highly vulnerable patients at at risk is that big of a deal. I know if I was 80 years old and had a stroke previously I would probly be opting out.
