Might be a risk cause they could ask for a COVID test

To those who voted down: semantically at least, Jeremy's correct. The company declares that being sick isn't a valid reason for missing work. Thereby, it logically becomes responsible for whatever happens henceforth. Of course, this is ABSOLUTELY NOT proper legal advice. Just how basic logic works.

The problem with going to isn't that you might hurt the company. It's the collateral damage of customers and other employees. Though seriously what kind of shit company doesn't just give you PTO for covid right now...

If you do this, you are a piece of shit. Even if all you have is a cold or the flu.

Things aren’t that easy. If you were in this situation, I can almost guarantee you would consider going to work. Also, it sounds as if this person may be the sole breadwinner. They have a spouse to support! Do you want these people to suffer and die?

Sadly, I wouldn't fall off my chair if even the most pro-vaccine state didn't offer any kind of support for covid-related sick-leave. Don't forget that electoral college seats, governors, senators and state legislatures are somewhat unrelated. And some are more vulnerable to gerrymandering than others.

If the Democrats are so competent, why is there still a virus in their states?

The highest rates of infection are in red states. And states where "crisis standards of care" are in effect are ONLY red states. It's clear that Republican "leadership" is correlated with failure to deal with the pandemic.

The problem is that OP might kill someone if they do that. Morally it's a pretty dangerous thing to try.

I *really* hope you are joking.

Only two sentences, yet both wrong.

Well, that's not ALL it means. It drastically reduces your chances of contracting it, but if you do, it also has prepped your immune system to fight the disease. That is entirely up to your individual immune system.
