I was never scared of COVID from the beginning and kept living my life as usual. Caught the virus, and it was a joke compared to some other things I've caught. Yet at work we are forced to act like it's the black plague, I got reprimanded for calling it the "cooties" and my manager had to talk to me for "not taking COVID seriously enough." Like they are basically policing thought crimes now.

This is happening where I work as well. People weren't scared enough so they had to punishment us with more severe restrictions because we need to be cowering and compliant. It's infuriating.

How would one find out who sets the restrictions at one's college?

Oh yes. But I live in Cali. Newsollini never let us off our lockdowns. Schools never really opened.

My daughter's school actually held out for quite a while. No cases.. none. They were going to school full time. But its like our governor, Wolf, caught wind of this and amplified the state's guidelines - which the school had agreed to follow. Now my daughter is out of school, not because they had cases - but because too many teachers are quarantined because of contact w/ people who "may" have had the virus. Wolf changed the guidelines to make quarantining a regular occurrence.. which is putting enormous pressure on the smaller schools who can't handle massive staffing shortages.

They don't give a shit about anyone in all this.. its always about putting us under lockdown and forcing compliance.

My workplace actually goes above and beyond the state's COVID workplace guidelines. For example if you travel to a "hot" state you can come back with a rapid test so you don't have to do a mandatory quarantine. My workplace decided that was too convenient, so any out-of-state travel gets you a two week unpaid vacation. I want to sue them for violating my constitutional rights.

Yeah if we have symptoms or a positive test (and were force tested weekly or termination) we get 2 weeks on our dime. But if we are deemed to be high risk due to exposure from another employee we get 10 days paid leave. Makes sense, right?
