How would you know you have Covid unless you get tested. No test. No diagnosis. You can’t claim to have the disease. My choice is to simply stay in my apartment when I get sick. I don’t risk spreading it and no one is the wiser.

The thing is that people are most contagious over the 48 hours before they experience symptoms. (Staying home once you feel sick is still highly recommend. )

This is why I hate most people now and why I have lost faith in society. The pandemic has truly made me HATE people.

I would have told you before the pandemic that I dislike people and wish they were better but now I have given up hope on most of them.

Alexander, yawn. Please tell me something I don’t know. I have kids and dogs. Both very well behaved. Dogs are very loyal is all I’m saying.

“Human Resources; Nowwwww this right here; is why we can’t have nice things.”

People like this are the reason; I wear a Bouji Mask, request people step back, and ask people not to touch my desk. If someone tells me they’d come to work with Covid-19 that’s a risk to my business and employees.

If someone has a FoodBorne Illness, they can’t work in a kitchen…. If someone has a pandemic causing sickness, they need to not be showing face in public.

Without any context it's hard to say but the most likely reason is they won't get paid (or at least not fully) for the time they'd be asked to quarantine and can't afford the financial hit. Other likely explanation IMO is they're vaxxed & don't think they're a risk to others. I mean it wasn't that long ago govt & advisers were pushing for mandatory weekly testing for all unvaxxed while simultaneously saying vaxxed ppl don't need to be tested unless they're really sick even if they think they might have been exposed.

However, realistically, we're all being exposed to COVID (and other illnesses) all the time. Most ppl who have it probably don't even know they do and these measures implemented (quarantines, social distancing, masks, vaccines, etc.) are just part of a losing battle. Personally, I just assume everyone has COVID and make decisions from there based on my own risk analysis.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
