Just got this email from my dentist's office!

Coronavirus Update - False Alarm!

As some of you may have heard, we closed our office this past week due to a potential Covid exposure. Thankfully, it all turned out to be a false alarm.

The spouses of two of our employees were exposed to a Covid positive individual. Fearing that they may have become infected and exposed our employees, out of an abundance of caution, we closed the office immediately and cancelled patients for Monday and Tuesday of this coming week. Fortunately, the spouses and employees were fully vaccinated and have since tested negative with the PCR test. As a result, we will be open as usual on Monday.

The lesson we can take away from this is that the vaccine works, and we are happy to report that all our employees and doctors are fully vaccinated. If you have not done so already, we hope that you will join us and maybe help end this horrible pandemic.


It's nice to know that they are relying on science, even if we are in the capital city of Florida!

 :yawn: Yawwwwwwwwwn :yawn: I get a similar email about once a month. Of course, working in a building that has something like 100 people in it for a company with 1500-2000 employees in the Bay Area, not much gets shut down.

But if we want to blather about "science" here's Worldometers' Florida page, https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/florida/ . New cases and daily deaths have been falling there for ~2 1/2 weeks. The peaks of both were worse than the winter surge, but because the surge duration has been shorter, the net impact in cases and deaths might be fewer.

If the vaccine works then why do people need 3 shots and why are there so many breakthrough cases?

I have always maintained that the shutdowns, originally used to "flatten the curve" did nothing but prolong the course of this bug.  WV is still on the upside of the latest wave, it's our fourth, and the experts with all the oh-so-accurate models are predicting that it will peak in a week or two and then drop drastically.

I'm puzzled by the eco dummies though... they all say the earth is over populated, along comes a bug to fix that and they want everything shut down so people don't die. 

Weird.   :-)

To ______ employees and contractors,

I am writing to notify you that one employee on the main campus has tested positive for COVID-19.  Unless you were notified that you were a close contact to the positive case, you do not need to take any action.  Close contacts will be tested and deep cleaning of all buildings will be done this weekend.  I understand receiving this letter may cause you to wonder about the specific circumstances of the positive case.  Federal and state laws limit the information I can share to maintain the confidentiality of our employees.

If you have symptoms, test positive or are exposed to someone with COVID-19 outside of work, please stay home and contact your supervisor and me for further instructions.

I was not one of those "notified that you were a close contact to the positive case".
