Plus I don’t know what happens financially if we shut down. Vet med does not operate on huge margins and the basic construct is: you don’t work, you don’t get paid. Maybe there’s some mitigation of that because we’re owned by a big corporation now. So I feel like I can’t address the possibility that we will be shut down if we get one corona positive person, without being able to say what will happen to people financially. Yet it seems deceptive not to say anything.
Theyre working on this furiously at the levels above my pay grade, closed door meetings and conference calls. Can they afford to pay people, yes or no? They need to decide pretty quickly. Personally I think corporate has to find a way to do something or those employees will be lost forever to them and it will be hard for the corporation and it’s individual practices to bounce back.
So I say a lot of “I don’t know” these days. Also: “Here’s what I do know” but that’s really not too much.
