Just found out

[Diamond_Dog]

My best friend’s aunt (60 y. o. and unvaccinated due to being anti vax) had been going to her job at Subway for several days while feeling ill (cough and severe fatigue). She did not believe she had Covid because she and a neighbor had recently gotten some Ivermectin and taken some. Not sure how long ago that was.

Long story short, she collapsed in her car after working her last shift, was later taken to the hospital, tested for Covid, got a positive result. Her pulse ox was 70.

She’s at home now, and doing better. Still in denial that she had Covid.

But I can’t get over how irresponsible it is to go to work feeling ill in a place where you’re handling food. I dearly hope Subway made the employees wear masks. No wonder we can’t make better progress with the pandemic here.

And yes I get it that people are afraid to call off sick from their jobs for fear of being penalized or fired. I hate this virus!

1. The Subway should have sent her for a test when she

showed up sick for work. It's her fault too, of course, but it seems like a restaurant should have an obligation to make sure their staff isn't passing around any potentially fatal viruses while they're making those $10 sandwiches. I hope that word gets around about that store and their business suffers greatly.

7. What! and lose a worker when they're probably already short staffed?!

Just kidding …. Sort of ….

[Raven123]

2. And the media wonders why so many job openings are unfilled. Why risk the exposure to these folks

3. Argghhh! Subway in STLMO is one of my favorite places to go sometimes for their tuna sandwitches!

What is wrong w/ people?! Working while sick, denying it all in the meantime, and then they collapse, near death and still don't admit that they are wrong, that they are sick, that they are NUTS!

13. Tuna? Maybe it depends on your franchisee....

19. Snopes rated that claim as "unproven."

I'm not a Subway fan, but I'm also not a fan of spreading unproven rumors.

Just saying!

22. Tastes like tuna

At least the kind you get when you open a can and add various things to it to make tuna salad. I would possibly also expect mayonnaise, pickle relish, chopped eggs and onions to be in the tuna on a tuna salad sandwich.

[SWBTATTReg]

25. A ridiculous claim ... I have ordered quite a few sandwiches from them and never any problems

but I guess you had to share your concerns with me and others, or also you have had issues w/ Subway in the past and have a grudge perhaps.

4. THE reason why I haven't had take out or fast food during this whole pandemic!

15. This

[wnylib]

17. You beat me to it. I have not been inside a restaurant

or had take out since March 2020. I do not even go to outdoor restaurants because the ones in my area have seating that is too close.

5. Many people are allergic to NUTS

I try to stay away.

[littlemissmartypants]

8. ...

[orleans]

6. haven't been to a subway since this pandemic hit

the fast food i take out gets nuked at home before consumed

9. Irresponsible. She may well have passed it on to several people.

It's just crazy how many bought into the orange turd's bullshit...and still do.

12. With delta, likely more than several.

10. It was not irresponsible to her bc she didn't think she had it.

She believes in all the hoaxes, conspiracies, and wack treatments.

[LisaL]

11. Unbelievable.

I guess they are convincing themselves that ivermectin can prevent covid? Covid is not a parasite.

[James48]

14. Please provide details

Of the specific address of the Subway where she worked. People have a right to know when they are victims of a criminal act like this. And they have a right to sue that particular Subway for fsiliring to maintain a safe work environment for their employees, and/or a safe eating establishment that meets health department standards.

Name names.

[wnylib]

18. What about reporting them to the local health dept

for letting a sick person work?

[lpbk2713]

16. This is why I have dined out only a few times since all this started.

You have no way of knowing who has contact with your food.

[PatrickforB]

20. A lot to be said for vaccine mandates.

[Diamond_Dog]

21. My thought exactly.

[Wounded Bear]

24. We've had generations of people going to work sick...

because "it's just a cold." It's why the cold/flu season is so damaging, everybody goes to work sick.

We've been trained to think that the job is the most important thing in our lives, and because so many of us are in survival mode it has worked.
