"Despite having obvious signs of illness, the Maplecrest employee went to work that day, and the next." "The York County Jail employee showed up for an eight-hour shift despite having COVID-19 symptoms. It was the first of five consecutive days of work for the employee..." I see the main problem not as the wedding, because an infection can frankly happen anywhere, but as a failure to accommodate people who feel they can't miss work even though they are ill (need the money, fear repercussions, policy that limits sick days, etc.). I don't believe the individuals intentionally exposed others, but felt they had no other choice. |

The only person I know that got Covid, his only symptoms was that he was sleepy, he slept for a whole week 14 hours a day. It's quite bad, but I could see many still going with it, sleeping 8 hours and still going to works sleepy. I got plenty of days I felt sleepy in the past and still went to work.
Headache is another symptom, again, never got any yourself? Pop an Advil and go with it? Would you miss work for that reason?... I may miss too many day if I had to consider that one.
I don't know what symptoms he had, but it could be pretty minor... yet we simply can't get a day of for every minor thing. I agree completely with you for major symptoms, but sadly, there's many case where people are asymptomatic or doesn't even know they are symptomatic because of how commons or hard to spot theses symptoms can be.
You know what we can do though easily though, postpone a wedding or have a wedding differently. They were 55 there, were they all required? Why do it inside? Why not refusing people without mask? Why not enforcing more strongly the few basic rules of social distancing?
