Exactly. Covid games ended for me after the second time I got it. Fauci, Biden, the CDC assured me that if I took their stupid vaccines, I wasn't going to get covid. FAIL. and then FAIL a second time.
I generally don't test anymore unless I have a fever or potentially going to see someone who could get very sick (like grandma).

If you have fever, you should not visit grandma whether its Covid or not. Its just common sense, - or should be.

Yep, they are called "personal time off" aka PTO, so you can take them to go on a vacation, or when you are sick.

I've never had a covid test and I know I've had it twice by the symptoms and based on the fact people in my household tested positive with the same symptomd I had. We were all sick at the same time both times we all got covid. And they both had the "vaccine" and one booster. I am un-"vaccinated."

If I get symptoms of the flu I stay away from people as best I can. I would do the same for covid. I don't need to know it's actually covid.

In public, I'll stay away from people and wear an N95 mask if I have one. This has been my MO since the 1990s.

Many people still believe this!!

My sister in law just got over Covid. The first time she had it she said it was like a bad cold. This time she said it was horrible, she was really sick. I thought it was supposed to be just the opposite. Anyway, I think the CDC lifting the five day guideline is a bad idea.

In that case. most employers in the US are awful. No one should be forced to work when sick, nor should they be forced to infect others.

In 40+ years, I've never had a job where I didn't have nearly unlimited paid sick leave.

No work, no pay. It's very rare that you get unlimited PTO. Many higher paying jobs give you to 2-3 of vacation per year which is also PTO but places like fast food often doesn't give any unless required by few states up to 5 days.

Unlimited sick leave? You won't find a job like that here. Let's put it this way, don't show up for work you WILL be looking for another one.
