The best thing to come out of all of this is that people finally decided to stay home when sick in general. 7-8 years ago I had a coworker stroll into the office and tell us she’d thrown up multiple times that morning and “felt like crap”. My other coworker at the time came with pink eye and we all avoided her like the plague. One girl who reported to me came to work very obviously feverish and miserable and I sent her home immediately (she had the flu). Now? Just an excuse to work from home, it’s rare to see anyone sick at work.
Sadly this trend is over. Thanks in part to public “health” telling everyone that masks are magic. Now every day I get sick people coming in to my dental office. They think that hiding their smile makes it all okay. And we’ve been very clear that we’re doing elective procedures; if you are sick just call and reschedule. No penalty. They’ve been convinced that they don’t need to, courtesy of our tax dollars.
Yeah that is true too. Though I do feel that anyone wearing a mask is immediately looked at suspiciously if they aren’t a consistent mask wearer (obviously they’re sick, not trying to avoid sickness) (maybe because I’m in a red state). I had a major surgery done when I had a minor cold (dr knew, said it was fine since it was only a head cold) it made recovery worse and I didn’t particularly enjoy it. I don’t understand how people don’t want to reschedule an elective one for when they’re better, just a better option all around!
