#stayhomewhensick — Public Fediverse posts

It's shitty that some people only care about the bottom line, the human cost is not an issue for them. But I'll take it whatever gets them to stop ignoring the dangers of covid-19.

#SickDay Saga

Crappy sleep including an hour awake in the middle of the night thanks to fever + sore throat.

But still up at stupid o'clock and working from home ( #StayHomeWhenSick please) because my brain is not yet at the vegetate-on-the-couch-sick yet.

At least I "get out" of going to the office tomorrow by playing the "Responsible Adult" card.

Me: Germany's employers are unhappy as employees are off sick so rarely that, on average, they finish with 22 days of unused fully-paid sick leave a year.

Them:

"workers missed an average of 19.4 days of work due to illness in 2023, a record high.

These findings haven’t been lost on Germany’s employers, who don’t sound convinced that their employees are genuinely ill

German laws allow workers to take six weeks of sickness leave while receiving full pay, which has frustrated some employers."

Meanwhile 19 days of work missed is about 1.5 mild 2-week COVID infections, about right for 3x infections a year with half asymptomatic!

I spent nearly 2 decades in the restaurant industry. I was out long before #covid19 , but I knew that not just the lack of #paidsickdays but enforcement of health codes requiring contagious people not to handle or serve food would be a problem. Even for those who could afford to #StayHomeWhenSick many establishments regularly pressured servers and kitchen staff to come in, even when quite visibly ill.

@MorriganResists I'm sorry to hear about your chronic herpes. For unknown reasons, #HerpesZoster (#shingles) is becoming more common, and a fair number of people will have recurrences.

We should never underestimate viruses. Many can cause long term (or later) effects.

The good news is that preventing one can help prevent most. If more people were cautious, we'd all be safer!

First and foremost: Stay home when sick to keep from spreading germs.

Even if you have a big planned gathering, it is not kind to others if you minimize your symptoms and get someone else critically ill.

All I want for #Christmas is for people to realize the benefits of #LayersOfPrevention and use them.

#N95 #KN95 #KF94 #Ventilation #Filtration #Vaccination #Immunization #Boosters #Testing #StayHomeWhenSick #KnowLocalRatesAndAlterBehaviorsBasedOnThem

The CDC is finally asking people to #WearAMask again.

The big question is whether anyone will listen because the misinformation runs strong.

#MasksWork when they're quality materials and well fitted.

There is no immunity debt. The #ImmuneDysfunction is caused by #SARSCoV2 directly impacting our immune system.

Don't get infected (again). Protect yourself with an #N95, #KN95, or #KF94. #StayHomeWhenSick. #Ventilate and #filtrate air. #Vaccinate #GetBoosted

I updated my blog on #Strep due to what's going on in the UK.

I am scared for the kids.

Please #WearAMask, #StayHomeWhenSick, #DontTouchYourFace, and #WashHands. I hope the #AntibioticShortage ends soon!

@tootiatricians

I just got off the phone with another desperate parent who can't find an antibiotic for their infant. They want me to call it somewhere else, but no pharmacies have it.

We need to do more to prevent infections.

This is a scary list. Not surprising, but long and scary.

Every infection matters. Prevention is our best bet.
