When I go back into the office I am going to be the symptom Nazi. I had a co-worker in the office across from me that her and her husband went on a cruise in late Jan-early February. She came back and coughed non stop for 2 weeks. That shit ain't happening anymore.

Why are we not allowed to know the symptoms the hairdresser was showing? Seems strange. It shouldn’t be a HIPAA issue if the hairdresser isn’t identified and hopefully she never is with the way they’re reporting this story. The only thing I’ve been able to find is that the symptoms were very minor. When digging through the Springfield-Greene county health district Facebook it seems a few people are trying to get answers of the symptoms and are being ignored. There are also some claiming to know her that says she got tested by an urgent care clinic and they told her it was allergies and she didn’t have enough symptoms for a test
I can vouch that the system is broken right now. I had “minor” symptoms earlier in the week with a low grade fever but still not enough for any actual symptoms according to the CDC. I don’t have a primary physician because mine died a few years back and I’ve been too busy and healthy lately to find a new one. So I called my health insurance and they referred me to urgent cares or teleconference doctors appointments to try and line up a test. The lady at the health board said my main “symptom” would be all the travel I do for work. Are they considering this lady traveling to be her “symptom”?
Anyways, the teleconference with the doctor just charged me 25 bucks to ask a bunch of questions without ever teleconferencing in. They then gave me a work release saying it was a sinus infection and that I should be good to go back to work Friday
I then called the health board back and asked if I should return to work on Friday after getting a note from a nurse practitioner that didn’t actually even see me. She said that she wouldn’t recommend it and referred me to another teleconference doctor recommended by the health board this time but the earliest they can see me is Tuesday morning. I told her technically I would need a doctors notes stating that I have symptoms keeping me from work until then , but the doctor is the only one who can write that work release.
I decided to play it safe and assume that the doctor I talk to on Tuesday will just give me a backdated work release (especially since my temp spiked over 100 yesterday) but I’ve been able to work through all of this stuff unaffected so far. I can’t say I would have played it safe under the same circumstances if I haven’t been paid in a couple months. Especially in an industry that’s obviously so busy right now.
Also, during the press conference announcing the news and berating the hairdresser for all of this contact tracing they’ve had to do, they somehow forgot the 6 foot distance and mask rules. For 20 minutes you see Clay Goddard standing RIGHT NEXT to the signer and both are clearly foregoing all of the CDC guidelines. I’m so glad I don’t live near there. That Clay Goddard seems like a complete idiot the more I look into this. “Do as we say, not as we do”
