Derek

tread softly Derek, you are stepping on my calm.

I urge you to comprehend and in short realize that thousands have lost thousands... People whom we loved is no more and with us a memory and a thought "it was to soon" they still had so much to give so much to offer but they are gone now. We will never get to hear their voices, see them smile again. All we get are memories...

This pandemic is to be taken seriously, the steps we take to protect ourselves is of utmost importance. I urge you not to mock others. You have not yet come face to face with this pandemic, the heartbreak it brings. In simple words, you are lucky so far. But one day this Pandemic may touch face and i hope you never have to experience the fear, the sadness and the loss it brings. To see first hand how fragile life truly is...

tread ever so softly Derek, and comprehend that this pandemic is very real, it is very dangerous, it has claimed many lives. 3.17 Million people "as the number stands now" is gone. That is 3.17 million friends family members that are in mourning.

Now do with these words what you will. Consequence is a very real thing, protect yourself by doing so you are protecting those around you.

Stay strong my friend. We hope it's just the flu and not more serious stuff.

I am not sick ... one of my staff members is off ... just sharing his experience yesterday ... which puts me in a position as the owner ... what do I do ... we have been working numerous sites interacting with hundreds of people... because they didnt do a test on him but rather sent him and all the other patients home with a handful of medication.

Do I let him return to work on Monday and go about our day like nothing is wrong ... potentially exposing everyone we come into contact ... I will be working in a school full of children on Monday or Tuesday.

I decided to work in the workshop yesterday and stay away from everyone even though I am not experiencing any systems ... just in case he was tested and found to be positive ... So a waste of day ... money pissed down drain dead line shifted .. We still dont know if he has covid ... he is out about today in town sorting out month end payments ... in and out of taxis.

I can only shake my head and smile ... lets hope it is only the flu.

Maybe this can help: What if I or a colleague has coronavirus symptoms?

The employer must not permit the employee to enter the workplace or to report for work. If the employee is already at work, the employer must ensure that the employee is isolated, provided with a surgical mask, washes their hands, and arrange for the worker to be transported in a manner that does not place other workers or members of the public at risk, either to be self-isolation (if < 55 yrs old and with no comorbidities) or for a medical examination or testing (if >55 yrs and / or with comorbidities). While the employee awaits their test results, the employee must remain in self-isolation.

The employer is not obliged to test everyone in the business, but should an employee test positive, the employer should identify close contacts of the employee and either send these for testing or self-quarantine depending on whether they have symptoms or not and on whether they meet the testing criteria or not (>55 yrs old and / or co-morbidities).

The employer should also disinfect the area that the employee operated in and the employee's workstation.

I wonder why this is suddenly doing the rounds.

The resolve is simple, Take your masks gloves and all the PPE you need and go to the hospital. If they let you in and that is a BIG IF! Talk to the staff take the time to know the situation. Go see first hand with what they are dealing with and hear the concerns they have. I doubt they will allow you to get close but that is for your own safety.

In the end of the day Derek, this is a way for you to hammer on a sensitive subject, to get a easy response on people's raw emotions and more to the point provoke people who are truly hurting. But I digress.

Take the situation seriously, protect yourselves at all times and remember the laws are here to protect us. The preventative steps we take are essential so are the laws that protect us.

All this said, i will be going for a while. I got real work to do and and since this "Thread" is factually messing with my calm, i will be blocking the website for a little while. That way you cannot provoke me anymore.

So i guess you can call it a win? Showed me that you are indeed the boss and whatever else it is that you ego need, give yourself whatever title you wish to assign yourself. Perhaps give yourself that pat on the back maybe? Or give yourself some other expression of approval or congratulations. Whatever it is you do.

Me, i got work to do. Time to get to it.

Cheers.

I dont understand why people get so worked up ... there is block facility on social media platforms ... its simple you block the person and move on ... or just dont open the thread ... if it is all the people on the platform who are pi$$ing you off them take a break and come back in a few weeks ... months or years time.

We are all different in our own strange way ... the beuty about social media ... you can move into spaces where you fit and can express yourself ... you control the content you view and the people you want to follow or block.

For example I have no interest in accounting ... so I dont even open the threads ... I have no idea what is discussed in those threads ... you will notice the same people responding to the threads ... either because thay have an interest in the topic or a question or an answer to help someone.

There are moderators who have a responsibilty to keep the content clean and manage threads which get out of hand ... they can lock or delete content ... there is also a PM facility which can be used to communicate with members ... a moderator can step in an request a member be a little more considerate.

Just for the record, this moderator is proceeding on the basis that the participants in this thread so far are grown-ups with loads of social media experience.
Views and counter views are well represented, so the engagement is not one-sided either.

The only thing that would be helpful would be if there was less "playing the man" and more focus on the topic(s). But in my view "playing the man" never reflects too well on the posters that engage in it anyway. Easy for me to say as an analytical, I guess...

This is a terribly difficult situation. Thousands have lost thousands so emotions is a key factor here. Simply put, for those that did touch face with this pandemic and have gone trough the ordeal will have a emotionally invested point of view. But at this point i digress. I am not going to wish ill on anyone, i am not going to partake in this discussion anymore. I rather just go away for a while and let the situation sort itself out.

Yes i could have clicked away, but the fact of the matter is this situation has a high degree of danger to it. Thus i felt obligated to spell it out as best i can. This pandemic is real, this pandemic is dangerous, the regulations and requirements are there to protect us. Because prevention is truly important. But at this point once again i digress.

In another post someone, mentioned the blocking system and i totally forgot about it. Basically used it immediately.

So as it stand i will leave things be.

In the real world people who constantly go into social groups and provoke others with their continual childish rants get a slap on the ear and thrown out the door. In the social media world we are forced to allow them to continually shoot their mouths off whilst looking the other way (Blocking)

So be it!
