Never thought our company was that cheap.....my brother and I.......mainly him.....spend quite a bit of money on our employees........
Don't know if it is the Abbot test or not.......just that it's $300 a pop.....doesn't feel so cheap.
And we are getting the test we thought was available.
Why is your company going to start random testing pretty soon? Why hasn't it started testing already? Too cheap?
When it comes to the health and wellbeing of your employees money should not be an object. There are several rapid tests and like @YaleDawg said not as accurate but this is all new to everyone and a lot of gray areas......good that your are testing your people a lot of employers would not put out the expense, they would just let them spread it around so don't get me wrong you are doing a good thing that most won't do...
@texdawg notice he said the PCR is “more accurate.” None of these things are 100%, but with any competing products of this type, there will be some that work better than others. Kind of like how a Chevy is a darn good truck, but it takes a Ford to pull one out of a ditch.
DOD Navy my command is Medical and they are going to random test us since we play Corona Roulette on a daily basis. Has to have like 35 signatures to be approved lol, cheap nah not when it comes from OUR tax dollars
Yes it would have helped but it is all hindsight. Nobody even came close to considering masks or a shutdown in January. Some travel from China was stopped in January but was criticized when it happened.
OK ....the PCR is more accurate. But what good does it do to wait days for results. We wear masks in the office and warehouse.......but we aren't quarantining waiting on results.
Employees have to be paid, warehouse lease has to be paid, huge electric bill, on and on.....can't wait for test results. If someone tests positive......we need them gone.
But honestly.......Dallas is supposed to be ground zero........and I hardly know anyone that has tested positive.
But we are about to lose 4 employees.......not because they tested positive or someone close to them tested positive.... they have to stay home because their kids can't be in school.
I'm looking at 100s of cars drive by my office......non stop. We are unloading and loading trucks as fast as possible.......but our kids can't be in school or play sports.
What universe are we living in?
But i degrees
My interest in this article is related to quercetin in combination with zinc. Read down and you might be shocked at what viruses this combination has gained trial approval for in the US and other countries. Zinc is sold in most grocery and drug stores. Quercetin can be bought on the internet or herbal vitamin stores.
What’s the harm if you are someone concerned about covid?
I’ve been taking vitamin D and zinc, but know it is difficult for the body to absorb zinc
To put it into perspective you are making a business decision, just like the decision to play sports or open schools is a business decision, teachers that are high risk don't want to up their chance of exposure by being around school age people who may have the virus and are not having symptoms.
Spending 300.00 per test is a business decision, good on you, but spending that 300.00 to help your 4 employees whom I assume are good employees pay some of the child expenses may be a better decision, do not get me wrong,
not telling you how to run your business but it is a 2 way street. Me I personally believe people should live their lives how they want free of government interference.
Confounding that signatures hold up so many things. A buddy was supposed to be going to Nevada for about a month to the AF base out there. His trip was delayed because he was waiting on the 3 star general on base to sign off on it. Why in the heck a command general needs to sign for one person to leave town is beyond me. I can’t imagine the paperwork for what you’re doing.
Because they don't want people to leave town....
Wait till you find out about pregnancy tests and condoms
Kidding, just trying to lighten the mood
He’s a civilian, so he can go wherever he wants. In his case, I suspect his security clearance is probably the reason. He works on weapons systems.
If he need access to the base he needs permission from the base commander. I work at Eglin and they are doing the same thing.
I'm way past that.
If my wife needs a pregnancy test then I have to kick somebody's ass....
