Are the tests accurate? That is question #1. Are the tests reported somewhere or just home tests? That is question #2. Many questions. The lack of severe virulence of omicron however should equate into less missed work and decreased disability. I am not aware personally or professionally of anyone who has been disabled or missed more than a few days of work due to omicron. Zero that have died. What do you hypothesize is the cause of increased missed work and disability claims? Share your thoughts! 😀
It depends. In healthcare, in a higher risk population (VA), employees stay home. Not for ten days anymore, but until they no longer have a snotty nose.
But presumably those were also in place in 2020 and 2021, correct? The rise can't be in healthcare workers, unless they're just now getting sick -- which once again raises the question of why.
True. The majority of VA employees complied with jab mandates. 98%, reportedly, in my large, midwestern, university-affiliated hospital. Some haven been sick, again and again. 😒
But people keep testing!

They keep testing, but "stay home because a contact tested positive" ended a while ago.
