In a press release, the Nogales government states that the cleansing solution is biodegradable and protects from âany virus or bacteria, including Covid-19â for up to 24 hours.
They got sold a scam. Viruses carried by humans donât work that way. You cleaned their skin and clothes, but meanwhile itâs reproducing internally.
Stuff like that is great for inanimate objects like mail. Not so much the biological factories the virus actually needs in order to grow and spread.
My sitch is different in that Iâm working from home, and its been demonstrated that there is no need to risk going into the office in order to get the job done.
We get numerous emails from corporate, raving about âhow well weâre doing in these tough times,â despite the difficult circumstances, how the company is hitting itsâ goals, and how âproud they are of everyone for buckling downâŚâ and I carefully save each one, just in case I should ever need them as evidence.
My 7x year old mom got a call from the real estate agent in the area 2 months ago, explaining to her how they were going to do showings âsafelyâ by having potential customers wear masks. I explained to my mom she had no cotrol over the customers, and it was not safe to do. That while the real estate agent needs to make a living, and that is what is motivating her, she is not a medical professional, nor scientist.
Because sheâs putting her life above the impact on others, and then blaming the clients she dragged in.
This isnât the fucking time to sell a house. (She (My mom) also wants to have rental properties at the next place she moves to. Ha. Yeah. Maybe something to be rethought.)
Iâm not even sure what Iâd be doing right now without the expanded clause for the self-employed in the CARES act. Dog bless the Congress critters who went to bat for us.
Just donât make us have to be beholden to the corporate class in order to get some relief. Thatâs all I ask.
I do want to get thoughts on this though. How is the safety being enforced? Whoâs liable when it isnât? Is liability all we should be concerned about, or are there
deeper moral issues?
I spent an hour or so in phone conference with my church about this, and one of my concerns was liability should something go wrong. Legal consultation called for.
Weâre living in a time where âciviliansâ are suddenly being asked to police their fellow citizens without training or compensation, and assume all of the risk if they fail.
