Read the article. The firefighters and EMS most definitely are catching the virus while on the job. OF COURSE they should be paid. I cannot believe you're questioning that. Wow.

The ICUs are close to being maxed out. I picked hybrid but no way I'm sending my kids back until these numbers go back to where they were in late summer/early fall.
I know they said no switching but...

And it stinks that you have to use your own sick leave. I think it is criminal that firefighters, EMS, police and other front line workers are being treated this way. And now people want to throw a much larger group into the same mix? No. I will not do it.Anonymous wrote:If they get COVID on the job they are paid. Why can’t you all understand that?
Not paying you for COVID caught on your own time.
Why should public school teachers get that benefit and not everybody else who is out actually doing their jobs?
