"But it’s not the responsibility of government employees or the government to keep those businesses afloat, and that shouldn’t be an argument that decides the fate of remote work." 💯

Just to be clear, the WHO thinks we’re heading for a mass disabling event. “An estimated one in 10 infections results in post-Covid conditions suggesting that hundreds of millions of people will need longer term care” #SARSCoV2 #LongCovid https://t.co/ujnza1KCrD

Approximately 40% of covid infections cause NO symptoms, so anytime we go into a public place unmasked, the risk of spreading covid is very real. Save a life--maybe yours. Stop sharing air. Wear an N95 mask. Please feel free to share this. Ann McNitt, BSN RN
