What would you do if a coworker returned to the office 5 days after testing positive and did not wear a mask in the common area their second day back? Still within the 10 mask period per CDC. Office policy is to adhere to current CDC guidelines. The coworker moved to the back of the room approximately 7 feet away and laughed about it with the only other unvaccinated coworker. Coworker who tested positive also has a history of believing in conspiracy theories about Covid and the election.

i’d leave the room/meeting, and let HR/my manager know i don’t feel comfortable or safe with people not adhering to health policies in the office, and making a mockery of the pandemic, so i’ll be working remotely.

it may have been out of their control catching covid, but it’s in their control how they behave afterwards.

It is about this employees lack of respect for office policy and lack if respect for their coworkers. 4 of their coworkers are immunocompromised. One of his coworkers has cancer. It is just a blatant fu to the people he works with and for, and his arrogance is infuriating.

I’d go home unless the office had made a major upgrade to the ventilation system since the start of the pandemic. The CDC made it clear that this was about the economy, not health, when it shortened the quarantine without requiring a negative test despite data indicating that’s a dumb move.

@Crowe1 if someone showed up with a common cold, no, but I’d avoid them. However, if a cold were known to cause long-term symptoms, in particular inflammation, in 15%+ of mild cases (and as much as 80% of serious cases), then I absolutely would go home.

Equating sars-cov-2 and a cold is analogous to saying herpes simplex 1 is just like herpes simplex 2. Maybe they are to you, but I’m personally less worried about one than the other.

If you are wearing your mask and you are vaccinated what’s the issue?

not all choices are equal.
