Starting Monday, the people with infinite wisdom have come up with a super plan to prevent the spread of this super duper deadly disease.
Each morning, all employees have to stop by a predetermined nurse station to have their temperature taken. If it's below 100.5, they will then need to make their way to an area to take a 3-question survey on how they're feeling. They can then go clock in for the day and get to work. They can't clock in beforehand.
If their temperature is 100.5 or above, they will be turned away and sent home. They will need to take personal time, get to a doctor, get a doctor's note saying they are corona-free, and that they can return to work.
Also, no outside visitors, only approved vendors, only essential personnel, the cafeteria is closed, the giftshop is closed, the special needs school is closed, and no one without a badge can get past certain points, no exceptions.
Mail and packages will be delivered to a table directly in front of the main doors. There are signs everywhere kindly reminding people not to forget what I consider basic, fucking hygiene. Thank God for that.
In the meantime, another 300 people have died of the flu since they made this decision. Fucking clown world.
This may be clown world in a place like Milwaukee but would be a sound precaution in Milan. The objective of these precautions is to keep the rate of infection curve as flat as possible. While most 85-90% of people who catch this flu will have mild symptoms and recover within days the last 10% or so require ICU levels of care to survive to illness. Currently, that would overwhelm the US medical surge capacity.
