One of the reasons COVID infected and killed so many people in this country is that so many workers don’t have sick days or can’t use them. Even during the height of the pandemic, companies like Target demanded employees report to work sick as long as they wore masks. Workers who had to go to work with COVID spread the disease to coworkers, customers, family, and friends.
You’d think the loss of millions of lives would’ve sparked some change. But no. COVID is spreading again, along with all the old diseases. Sick workers who try to call off work are still met with “if you don’t come in tomorrow, don’t bother coming in ever again.” This capitalist system is already preparing the next pandemic.
