@arstechnica Far too ambiguous...I never even had a fever when I had it. My wife didn't either. Mild symptoms should be a red flag. It should be, minimum, no symptoms, and a negative test. I'd also put a 14 day isolation period on it.
The disease doesn't go away just because businesses don't want people to take sick days.
@arstechnica That's a really great idea. Since people are often infectious without symptoms this makes sure that-
wait...
This makes sure that sick people will infect others even more.
Are they ok over there at the CDC? Is this like, someone trapped in a basement calling for help the only way they can? Can we get a wellness check on everyone behind this policy?
