Report them to the county health department or atleast tell prsc you will if that’s what it takes

Awe I’m so sorry to hear that 😕

I’m not trying to push that you’re a bad person at all here. But trauma doesn’t make everyone wake up in the night in terror. Trauma is described as ‘a deeply distressing or disturbing experience’, so in that sense, being exposed to Covid daily as part of your job could be described as traumatic to some people

I want to be the one to say this response, after making an extremely controversial (and a little ignorant - but that's okay!) comment is absolutely the stuff i like to see!!

I have gone through a lot of trauma in my life, and spent a majority of my life downplaying it and shrugging it off because I told myself the same thing - "That wasn't a near death experience, that couldn't have been trauma." or "I could have done xyz, that wasn't trauma." But the funny thing is, everybody's brain is different, and brains are more fragile than you would think, so everybody experiences trauma differently!

It's interesting too because people who are born into "traumatic" environments may not see certain situations as traumatic, whereas another person who has never experienced that could even get PTSD from it.

Experiencing high amounts of anxiety and stress for extended periods of time can be traumatic to people. I think there may even be hedonic adaptation involved after a period - someone actually in this field please correct me if I'm wrong - where after you experience that anxiety and stress for too long, that sort of becomes your "normal" so people have to actually relearn how to stop being anxious. And the interesting thing that people I think forget about high amounts of stress and anxiety, is that it can aggravate other issues that have been otherwise relatively "dormant."

Anyways, I'm probably talking out of my ass; I'm still learning, and working alongside a therapist for everything, but this is something that fascinates me about the human brain. We're so resilient, yet so fragile!

No they wouldn’t, public service jobs all have that risk right now, which sucks. I try to use food delivery from Walmart/stores when possible so I don’t expose other people like I have been. I rarely see my family and social distance outside if I ever see them

Edit: I will add that a lot of jobs I’m applying to in addition to service jobs are remote jobs, but those are harder to come by
