Sister's vet office is now offline again for COVID. Docs sick, most of the tech staff, most of the admin staff. When it hits, it runs through like a forest fire. One vet left because F the angry pet owners who think it's a personal insult they can't get special treatment, and he replaced one of the two who killed themselves (stress) last year.

They may institute a mask mandate again

to keep the remaining staff healthy on return
to filter their customers further because of high correlation of shitbaggery
because docs are always masked so lower risk is now a work perq for them.

Me, I quit my job when they mandated return to work and I joined a union shop with 100% remote in the contract. I should mask up when I go to the store but I'm a dumb boy and always forget. I'm so vaxed it's like a bad hangover, but I don't have time for even that mess.
