A server at a local restaurant, had a family member at her house for 5 days. It turns out that, that family member just tested positive for covid-19 and several other ppl who live with that person. The restaurant still has the server on the schedule, and told her to just wear her mask, it will be ok. This is why we can’t stop the spread of the virus. Ppl are more concerned with money, then the health of ppl.
