I'm pretty sure I had it the week of Christmas. My Dad - the only vaccinated one - was the super spreader LOL My sister did a home test and was positive, the rest of us just assumed and stay home. Cancelled family Xmas, etc. wore masks. There were no home tests left around here and the local clinic closed so what can you do?
Rules around here with most local businesses: Clinic or home test = positive = you get paid IF you are vaccinated. If you are not vaccinated, you don't get paid.
Where my friend works as HR they test close contacts, you stay home until symptoms are gone. They are super strict about all of it. She's a mini Fauci and follows his recommendations to the tee. Close contacts with quarantines, etc.
Where my BF works, it's very lenient. He's been a close contact probably 20x and never told to take a test. Some of the guys had it "3" times...ya right. But there you have to go buy your own home test. Some of the guys have had to travel 45 minutes away to find one or get an appointment. And show no proof so, how do you really know?
You want to be safe but on the other hand, like my BF if you don't get paid cuz your not vax, you also won't get tested if you have the sniffles. Nobody wants to lose holiday pay over Christmas/New Years. He was a close contact on Dec 22 for the entire 8 hour day and they never said a word to him. My guess is because if he had to lose all this holiday pay, they are too afraid he would get pissed and quit. So you have to think about also LOL
