Actually Poindexter is correct. Completely correct. I have 70 employees that interact one on one with 75 clients each week. 400 times that happens each week out in client homes. That's 12,000 times since this pandemic started. We don't control what the client does when we aren't there and we don't control what our aides do when they aren't working. EVERY single client is at risk due to pre-existing issues. Many are north of 75. If covid was so singularly deadly that we should hide in our basements trembling, why is it that no client nor aide has ever had covid. Only one aide had a family member get covid and we still sent the aide (with precautions and a thorough understanding of the contact)) and she didn't catch covid. All I'm saying is that covid really isn't that scary. IT JUST ISN'T. You and Harry breathlessly scaremonger every day by releasing some blah, blah, blah paper or study when the reality on the ground is actually quite different. Even nursing homes can be quite safe with a few simple precautions. If you choose to tweak your business practices even just a little as we did, covid is pretty much a non-issue.
So just know that when you scaremonger on here, some of us deal with it on the ground every day and know the truth. You've heard the difference between book smart and street smart. Always bet on the street smart people for things like this. Tried and true is a hell of a lot better than "expected" and "suggests" and "conclude". Those are words from statistics, and because my background is economics, I know the fallacy of following statistics to conclude what real life looks like. Otherwise, we'd all win the 9th at Saratoga wouldn't we?
