McDonald's in Denham Springs closes after employee tests positive for COVID-19

Of course it was the right thing to do. When word got out that an employee had it folks would have avoided the place. Also, if one had it you can bet others did as well.

Doubtful. The kind of people that eat at McDonald's or most any other "fat" food joint aren't going to let a little virus deter them from their obesity.

Now, think of the money that’s been exchanged, the food that’s handled, breathed on, etc, and people exposed, and the close proximity people encounter each other at drive up windows and you clearly see why a fast food joint might be the very last place I’d go right now, yet the lines are as long as ever. That’s why I wish to stay away from all humans right now. They’re dangerous, but the ones that are real dangerous are those carelessly going through this like it’s a big joke. It’s not.

Dammit. I have to be in Denham today and I was hoping to grab a milkshake.

Well it wont be so bad since the shake machine was probably broken anyways

I've been doing take out and drive thrus with no issue. If the workers take basic precautions, like gloves, then it'll be ok. No different than going to the grocery store.

Theres also only 57 cases in my 21,000+ population zip code.

Ever work in the service industry before? I’m just not sure I’d put my life in the hands of a McDonald’s fast food worker’s hands and their precautions, but maybe that’s just me. Gloves can pass that stuff to you just as easily as open hands can.

Wearing gloves is probably worse than not wearing them and just washing hands frequently

Not a thing

I had 2 mcdoubles last week and I threw up after I ate them. Not covid, just nasty

Yes. Now, any other employees that this one has come in contact with have been potentially exposed which could potentially expose family members. It's like a pebble dropped in a pond. A ripple effect.

Yes! I finally got my 19 year old to understand this! My husband, on the other hand, is a lost cause. He's too hyper to sit still and stay home for any length of time.
