One, their wife has been positive and he had been quarantining with her but like a week into it, he wasn't showing symptoms and they wouldn't test him because of that so they told him to return to work.

The other, just tested positive but he was at work all day yesterday.

<_< yet people wonder why they're gonna make the vaccine mandatory for my line of work.

Half the store's staff had covid and we were understaffed and I'm feeling overworked but they won't ever close even if only one of us is left.

This is likely the unfortunate result of people faking or overplaying symptoms to get out of work and collect a paycheck without working.

Usually to get tested you have to been exposed to someone who you know has tested positive and you were exposed to them in close contact for greater than 15 minutes cumulatively during a 24 hour period.

Idk the actual policy for the medics to make these decisions but I guess since he wasn't symptomatic and he had (recently) tested negative, despite exposure, they told him to go back to work. If you get tested, you get some time off (up to 72 hours i believe) until your results come back.

He mentioned it in the group chat last night, after work.

He tested negative a few days ago but he's at least been in the same house as his wife the entire time. They refused to test him again since he wasn't symptomatic. So we don't know if he is or isn't positive.

I already have both of my Moderna shots so I'll be fine in all likelihood

I just think its a telling indictment of how mismanagement creates risk of exposure.

Neither have tested positive, yet. Both their wives have.
