In reply to the discussion: My 23 yeard old had a COVID related heart attack last night. [View all]Ms. Toad
(38,075 posts)43. Thank you for sharing - people who are treating this so cavalierly need to hear about the serious
consequences short of death. I get so angry when people here (and elsewhere) treat death as the only consequence worth worrying about. (And then, only if the death occurs to someone who is not old and worthless.) This is a dangerous disease - even when the initial symptoms are mild.
I hope they can take the time they need to recover well. (And, if your state hasn't enacted protections for employees, you might want to consult a lawyer. That is pretty outrageous behavior on the part of their employer.)

I had it when I was about 28 I think. I felt like I had pulled a muscle in my chest.

Would she be eligible for workers compensation benefits? Seems appropriate to me.
