For those of you who haven't been working from home and have been going into work this whole time, have your employers been having to ask questions regarding your health, and temperature checks, before starting work, or entering the building? My employer opted out of the temperature checks, but per the County of Los Angeles health department, every day we each get asked the same damn questions and are supposed to answer yes or no (whether we've had a fever the last 14 days, whether we currently have a fever, whether we've come into contact with someone with COVID within the last 14 days, whether we know if we have COVID, shit like that). Now the LA County health department has added yet another question: "Are you fully vaccinated against COVID-19?" My boss wants everyone who is, to submit copies of their vaccination cards to put in their employee files, so that they can omit that question if you are indeed fully vaccinated.

^^ i get the danger of the false sense of security it can give some, but it also can't hurt to prevent feverish people from being indoors with other people right now.
my son goes to school 5 days a week. he has to be there because he just does. trust me on this one. i'm 100% ok with his school doing temperature checks before entry. not because i believe it means the school is then somehow impervious to infection, but because it simply cannot hurt to turn away a feverish child at the moment. once vaccines are okayed for the little ones, i hope they drop the practice.

On a related note, Hawaii has had the most manageable COVID outbreak of any U.S. state, due to their strict quarantine policies. And the number of excess deaths in the state between Jan and Oct 2020 matches the COVID fatalities total almost on the nose. |

The "false sense of security" argument, presented without data, was also used against masks in the spring of 2020. |

Similar issue with vaccines. Most of the world doesn't have access to a choice in vaccines or any vaccines, yet there is a lot of hesitation around AstraZeneca and J&J which while not completely without merit is often based on less than clear-eyed assessments of the trade-offs. |

What if the CDC said to put on a cotton based dick cloth (tube sock) to prevent stds and pregnancy? Would we not all laugh?! That's basically what a face covering is with an airborne virus.
The best prevention methods are personal hygiene/cleanliness, frequent hand washing, no touching of the face or eyes and social distancing (much greater than 6 feet and in open air). |
