Today's presenter, Wendy Sellers, was pushing an agenda of fear and recommending extreme and unrealistic measures. Making all office staff take their temperature with a person standing there and waiting a few minutes to be tested (and retested based on weather) is simply NOT realistic, and office staff would not accept waiting in line for 5-10 minutes (or worse) every time they enter the office. This is simply not realistic, and it's even worse for many companies that specify an official starting time like 8AM for all office staff to facilitate everyone being there when needed by management or customers. Requiring office staff to wear masks is also not realistic in my view, and I think we'd get a lot of resistance. Neither is taking people's fans away. Requiring fans to be under one's desk would be a lot more feasible, and just as effective. In addition, Wendy made absolutely no mention of testing to identify those who already have immunity and therefore should have no fear of returning to the workplace at all. Top Immunology lab experts confirm people would have immunity after recovering or being assymptomatic, and a person would simply die if they did not develop some form of immunity! Preventing those 65 and older from returning to the office, while allowing 64 year olds to do so is also arbitrary and frankly discriminatory. We need more practical solutions that can actually be implemented without extreme disruption to the business. She should have specified different recommendations for retail/store businesses and headquarters or backoffice staff as well. The review of CDC, EEOC and ADA guidelines was helpful, but practicality needs to be considered. At the end of the day, we need our people to feel comfortable collaborating with each other as opposed to viewing each other as a vector or threat. Clearing those who have immunity and those who are otherwise healthy and say they're not concerned, while accommodating others by allowing them to continue working remotely without asking them specific health-related questions is a lot more realistic. The reality is, we need better solutions than what Wendy Sellers presented today.
