but the pandemic is over!

I heard from my co-worker with COVID. She's feeling a bit better, which is good, especially since she hasn't been able to get either an official test or access to antivirals due to wait times at all clinics. Which are due to many people being sick from the nonexistent pandemic illness, as well as flu and RSV. Meanwhile, HR contacted her to say that she can come back on Wednesday (!) if she feels up to it, and she doesn't have to test at all before returning. (She said she's going to test anyway, and fortunately, she's in a position where she's financially able to stay home if she either tests positive or doesn't feel recovered.)

HR also contacted me, since I'm considered to have been exposed, to tell me that I don't have to test either and can come in as usual if I don't feel sick. (I feel fine so far, but I'm going to test tomorrow morning anyway.)

This is all so messed up.

I hate the "you don't have to test" rule. it's so ethically vacant.
