He’s literally fighting to stay alive and the nurse, who was not even wearing an N95 just a regular mask, told my mother-in-law in the ICU room to keep a few feet away because she has Covid. She said she had to work because of staffing issues and the hospital’s strict attendance policy. Later we called the nurse supervisor who said “well there aren’t any positive tests so it’s fine” even though the nurse point blank told us she had Covid. Supervisor said she could “try to get her reassigned if it would make us feel better.” Just please burn this country down to the ground. Please

Love our culture of shaming people into working no matter their ailments

That sounds very close to lawsuit territory.

It would be if the entire political system weren't blatantly devoted to trying to make COVID out to be an individual problem (see the case on a recent Death Panel episode about a California Court ruling that businesses are not liable for the harm that happens to workers' families when bosses deliberately expose workers to COVID and get them and their families sick). The reasoning was not that bosses shouldn't be held liable, it was that it would be too economically destructive to acknowledge their liability -- that is, even while the victims had moral standing, they should fuck off and die for the economy.

Would that not satisfy the definition of reckless endangerment?

I'm so sorry.

Dude I don’t know what else to say other than I’m so sorry your family is in that situation.
