Would you take this job?

[George K]

Wanted to let you all know that I was offered a paid position at the local COVID alternate care facility. I'd be doing support staff tasks and wouldn't have much patient contact. I'd get PPE, meals, and lodging. It's 2-3 shifts per week, 12 hours each, and I'd stay at their lodging to avoid exposing my boyfriend. It's a two week commitment, maybe more if needed.
My boyfriend is on board, my employer gave me the ok, and my doctor said my risk of complications (if I get it) is low. Just wanted a couple of opinions before I formally agree. I'd start 5/1.
I lost half my job's income to this virus so far and don't feel like I'm being useful to the community right now. But if you think this is reckless or foolish, I'd want you to tell me before I do it.

I wouldn’t, but I wouldn’t counsel someone else not to if they’re young and not high risk.

Personally i have zero fear of getting this virus, so, I suppose I would, assuming it's a good opportunity otherwise.

Better hope plenty of people are willing to take that job.

Needing the money is a really good reason.

I'd have to be...

A. Young and in very good health.
B. Exposure risk would have to be very low.
C. I'd have to need the money very badly.

Look, it's a difference if somebody is a white coat and currently working. You ride for the brand and you take what comes, in order to care for your patients. And yes, there are some guys that will get sick. Some will die.

You know that, when you start those types of careers. Or better yet, callings.

But if you're not a soldier, I'm not too sure about riding to the sound of the guns.

(How's that for a semi-answer,complete with over-used sayings?)

[jon-nyc]

Definitely style points for the sayings.

Got to know when to hold 'em...?

[Rainman]

If the benefits are good, sure.

I'd take the job,
then call in sick.
