Any big law associates high risk for COVID nervous about going back to the office even after you’re vaccinated? I just don’t see how a firm can require 100% of people to vaccinate so nervous about the people I’d be around

Not being flippant but isn’t that the point of being vaccinated...you can’t get sick anymore? I at least hope it is because that’s why I got it!!

A3, glad to hear you're in remission. Best of luck to you!

OP, why didn’t you think firms can require people to vaccinate before returning to the office? I believe that it’s a firm’s choice but if I wanted to I could tell people they would be ineligible to enter the office without proof of vaccination. If they won’t vaccinate they can work at home.

I think DWT is requiring this already.

I know that even with the vaccine being widely administered there’s still a risk, but at a certain point doesn’t the risk of a car crash on the commute become more likely than any risk of exposure?

I think the issue is the variants, some of which are both more communicable and more deadly than the original virus. Unless we get this thing completely extinguished we may be in a permanent loop.

I just put the lotion on its skin. Vaccine? Fine. Go to office? Fine. Stay home? Fine. Long as I have money booze and (legal?) drugs. I’ve started ignoring all the other noise it seems like everyone has a wildly different take and opinion (majority of whom do not have medical degrees or science backgrounds).

Is this legal?
My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!
