Antiwork

Disclaimer, Im not a doctor nor do I have a degree for this shit, just speculation I firmly believe the new CDC guidelines that lower the amount of time you have to be quarantined from 14 to 10 to now 5 days are absolute bullshit and are just designed to put bodies in workspaces. I got covid last week from my job (I work at a nursing home) and my boss told me that since I'm just coughing and don't have a temperature anymore that now I have to come into work today at 7am.
