TimvdeMy mom tested positive on a RAT last Wednesday (11/1). She did a new test just now, and it's very very lightly positive. Her work is urging her to come in (they don't like WFH). Is it a really bad idea to do so?16:45

BrainstormUpdates for Malaysia: +309 cases since a day ago21:11
TimvdeCoJaBo: There's no need to do a new test, and the official quarantine period is over22:25
TimvdeEven the "For three days after quarantining, be careful around people" period is over22:25
TimvdeCoJaBo: Also, wtf, anti-vaccine pills? How does that (supposedly) work?22:26
TimvdeYou get skin of steel to break the needle?22:26
CoJaBoTimvde: It's apparently for antivax people who already took the vaccine and want to un-take the vaccine. Apparently. The logic is.. unique, for sure xD22:27
Timvdelol :')22:28
CoJaBo$89.99/bottle, and the dosage instructions basically say to take 2 entire bottles per shot you recieved. If people are really buying this, I'm in the wrong business <_<22:30
LjLde-facto, https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Lauterbach-warnt-vor-unheilbarer-Immunschwaeche-durch-Corona-article23860527.html  like, woah, would he really be saying that? i know i've seen studies vaguely pointing in that direction, but i've seen nothing so long-term as what he's claiming22:34
LjLTimvde, yes it's a bad idea to do so from a virus transmission point of view. from other points of view, i can't say.22:35
TimvdeLjL: I figured, but I can't seem to convince her22:35
CoJaBoUnless the company itself has a policy, there's usually not much you can do other than hope people around them are up to date on their boosters ¯\_(ツ)_/¯22:36
TuvixDepending on jurisdiction and local value placed on social-services, compananies are in a tough spot. Giving workers time off requires both funding and coverage, and all too often either or both aren't suitably addressed.22:42
TuvixIn places like the US, there's actually a bit of a peverse incentive *not* to even bother testing if you're required to either take mandatory sick leave (paid sick time stateside is pretty low vs. many EU by contrast) or worse, some/all of it unpaid time off.22:44
Tuvix(or to test and then not report your positive result to the employer.)22:44

LjLTimvde, try to compromise. wear mask?22:48
LjLTimvde, i don't really want to say this, but this is happening so many times in so many places, because companies etc etc... so if she "has" to do it... whatever, she will become responsible for maybe an entire chain of infections, but she'll never know, just like the other countless people who do the exact same. at some point you can't be the only one who "acts properly" if it just gets you in trouble and all the others don't care.22:52
TimvdeI'll try to convince her again tomorrow morning...22:57

Brainstormde-facto: From rp-online.de: Karl Lauterbach im Interview: Sorge vor mehreren Corona-Infektionen23:21
de-facto"We assume that a relevant proportion of those who become ill after corona infection experience long-covoid symptoms. Estimates range from 5 to 10 percent. This often means a hard blow for the individual and may even become relevant for the labor market if the number of sufferers continues to rise."23:22
de-factooh really? havent we discussed that over a year ago here?23:22
