Tests for the unvaxxed to be pricey
It’s going to cost Quebec $1 million weekly to test unvaccinated health care workers three times per week. Why these folks are not being docked to cover the cost I do not know.
Update: Quebec now says it will suspend unvaccinated health care workers who refuse to be tested. Which raises two immediate questions: why on earth would someone in the health care field refuse to even be tested? A test doesn’t introduce foreign material into your body and can’t affect you in any way.
And – will Quebec actually do this? Or will it threaten to do so, then back off when it sees how many actual boneheaded idiots are staffing our health care facilities?

I suppose they can take it from the bonus those workers will be forfeiting by not getting vaccinated. Then again, I’m pretty sure not very many people will actually see those bonuses, given all the rules around then. The less publicized stipulations of the bonus deal, according to a nurse friend: no vacation for one year; no sick days; no tardiness; no parental leave. Un cadeau empoisonné…

it’s not no vacation no sick days no tardiness not leave…it is that that tie isn’t included in the bonus, so you get docked proportionally for the time off you too. at least thats what my peeps at ciusss de l’est told me

Thanks, azrhey. I’ll check with my nurse friend. She may have misunderstood the rules.
