Not answering Krogers situation don't know anything about them but most businesses paid,
Why? Because they weren't paying for it...
Originally, during beginning of covid, fed govt (taxpayers) were. I'm not looking up dates right now but beginning any time off was paid by fed govt (us), then it changed and was if a company makes/forces a employee to stay home if they are positive or have symptoms or was in close contact with a positive covid and forced to quarantine the fed govt reimbursed a tax break for the cost. Then sometime this fall? Nothing anymore, if a company/business has to keep someone home they get no funding for it... But the employee can still file for FMLA, federal medical leave act (this might be just here state of NY?)

Not sure on that here in indiana. I know if my hubby were to contract covid he's paid for all his time off. But hes in a union. It might be different state by state. Here testing and vax are still free. Hubbys work is requiring all new hires be vaxxed but cant force it on existing employees due to union contract laws. They can force it for new hires because we are considered a "right to work" state and you can opt out of the union.
 
Just elaborating a little more on that comment, thinking back to the beginning of covid. Could get sent home for about anything, I remember saying they can't send us home, we are guaranteed 40 hrs, if I am ready willing and able to work they can't send anyone home!!
Yeah they can, lol, and pay them, who's not going to take time off paid ...
A lot of people took advantage of it, so now that it isn't paid for by us taxpayers fully I was a little worried when I had covid because it isn't my employer that says I can't work it's the fed govt so I could see how they could get around it.
Luckily where I work they said they pay the first week, after that if need be I'd have to file FMLA.
 
Progress! ♡♡♡
Thank you. I think so. Ive been pretty chill all day. No panic no nothing. I really think my panic attacks were due the high blood pressure. I wasnt anxious due to anxiety...my brain was warning me about my heart. I think Ive been misdiagnosed from the beginning. I dont have GAD I have hypervigilant body awareness. Ok l, yea I got some issues to work through but I wasnt wrong about this one and Ive been lead to believe I'm wrong on it for years. No wonder HBP is the "silent killer". Drs dont listen!
 
Slight digression here, only marginally connected to Covid ... Finally got my shingles shot yesterday, Part 1 of 2. Pharmacist warned me it does tend to make the arm sore.yesterday, no big deal, about the way it would feel when we were kuds and my brother and I would pop each other with a knuckle and give each other a charley horse, lol. Good times! I mean nothing like the first Covid vaccine! But today I am feeling it pretty good! I have to get Part 2 in two to six months. And I absolutely will! Never want shingles again! Just like I was happy to get the two Covid shots and the booster. Don't NEVER want to get Covid again! Nor any variant of it! So I still mask up, wash up, socially distance, and will bare my arm whenever the gov't tells me to!

Yea it comes out of FMLA which is federal money because its mandated by that law. Covid pay does not come from PTO

Maybe I'm incorrect but I thought if you had chicken pox you got shingles and you only got both once? Not sure because I havent had either. I got the chicken pox vax because my dad couldnt remember if I had it or my sister did.
 
They urea help me.
You might want to retype this. I think you meant they really help me. Ive tried them all. Meditation, yoga all that. Ive had a theory for a long time that its not just anxiety...its my own body saying whats wrong. Finally bringing numbers into my doctor had her put me on meds and it seems it took a week but they are helping. If its just anxiety breathing would help. I think its compounding and up until now ive been misdiagnosed.
 
Went to DD#3's school band concert tonight.
Place was pretty packed.
Band instructor says "You happy to see us!!?"

I've been to many many of these so not thinking it's a big deal till he says,

"We sure are happy to see all of you!!, been eighteen months we've been waiting to play together! for a live audience!!"

They rocked it! :thumbsup
