    Also basically no country in the world is taking elimination of the virus seriously.

    In fact - Australia’s stance is “get your arse back on the office/school/factory you ugly mug”, and that’s about it.

      That’s because it is unreasonable to take elimination of the virus seriously at this point. It’s like saying no one is taking seriously the elimination of cold and flu. For better or worse, it’s here to stay. Elimination is no longer an option.

        Even then, the one thing we should have got right was that you’re required to take sick leave when you’re positive.

        Yet our government says my colleague is allowed to bring COVID into the office twice in a month, further risking the health of my high risk parents and grandparents. As if that’s even remotely acceptable.

          If you’re sick, you get sick leave in Australia, no? If you get covid, just like if you get a bad cold or the flu, you should take your sick leave. That’s why it exists.

          I’m not even sure what you’re saying at this point. That people should be required to take leave when they’re sick? Yes, obviously…

          So your coworker was sick, and you would like the ability to compel them through some authority to go home whenever you think they’re sick? Or they tested positive, were no longer contagious, and came back? I’m honestly just confused.

            They knowingly came to the office with a preventable illness, declared they were positive both times.

            I’d argue it’s a crime, reckless endangerment.

            And if they don’t have sick leave, it’s leave without pay. Idgaf, just don’t come.
