     Public Health "Experts" Allow COVID-Infected Staff To Stay On The Job

   Darian Alexander   |  Jan 11, 2022

   Health authorities around the U.S. are beginning to allow nurses and other
   workers infected with the coronavirus to stay on the job, [30]ABC News
   reported.

   ABC and many other mainstream outlets have suggested that this is likely
   caused by rising caseloads amidst the Omicron variant, but neglect to
   mention the other obvious and far more likely cause - Covid shot mandates
   that have resulted in the firing of thousands and thousands of health
   workers throughout the nation. In just New York alone [31]Fox News
   recently reported that more than 30,000 health care workers are out of
   jobs due to the draconian mandates.

     Many hospitals are not only swamped with cases but severely shorthanded
     because of so many employees out with COVID-19.

     [33]ABC: Health officials let COVID-infected staff stay on the job

   California health authorities announced over the weekend that hospital
   staff members who test positive for the Covid-19 virus can continue
   working as long as they are "symptom-free." ABC also admitted that
   employees who are contagious and infectious have been in some cases been
   encouraged to work as well, writing that "some hospitals in Rhode Island
   and Arizona have likewise told employees they can stay on the job if they
   have no symptoms or just mild ones."

   This was further expanded on, with the report stating that Dignity Health,
   a major hospital operator in the Phoenix area, sent out a memo stating
   that staff members who are infected with the Covid-19 virus but believe
   they are well enough to work can do so by simply requesting an exemption
   from their managers.

   "We are doing everything we can to ensure our employees can safely return
   to work while protecting our patients and staff from the transmissibility
   of COVID-19," Dignity Health said in a statement.

   The 100,000-member California Nurses Association reportedly opposed the
   new decision strongly and warned it will lead to further spread of the
   Covid-19 virus.

   Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state health leaders "are putting the needs of
   health care corporations before the safety of patients and workers," Cathy
   Kennedy, the association's president, [35]said in a statement. "We want to
   care for our patients and see them get better - not potentially infect
   them."
