Just had this exact conversation with my mom on the phone 5 mins ago. Chick at the Jewels literally told her "she not worried jesus got me"

The ignorant will be the ones to perish from this, and a lot of folks on the south side are ignorant as fukk about this virus thinking its not as big as deal as it is.

Different take, but the seriousness of this may force people who have been ignoring their other health conditions (like morbid obesity mentioned above) to get serious about it.

Who leaked their underlying condition? Family should sue for HIPPA violation and unsafe working conditions.

unfortunately alotta people don't know how to wear gloves.

If you are wearing gloves properly, you should be going through dozens of gloves everyday at the least. If you are just putting on a pair and doing everything normal, its completely worthless and you might as well take it off.

Is it still a HIPPA violation if they just state the condition but do not state the name of the person?

Yes, it's protected health information (PHI). People can connect the dots with the identifiable information.

Lowe's has a glass partition in front of cashier's. And they wiped down the station between customers. But at Walmart, Target, and every grocery store it's business as usual. I walk in with gloves, mask and beanie avoiding people like I'm on the punt return team.

Should have been doing it.

Ive seen this too.

I haven't ate takeout food since this thing kicked off in early March..

I decided one day to grab some coffee from dunkin donuts b4 work..

The lady was ringing up customers and making food while wearing the same gloves..

I've seen workers in the back making food with no gloves on. No mask either..

I left..

If you catch this shyt, make sure you have some type of piece of mind, that you did all you could to prevent this..

So far im not seeing it..
