Yikes! Anyone keeping count of how many Lowes and HomeDepot workers are dying from Covid?

We know that Florida is in the midst of a wave, so the numbers are now closer to home. My husband told me last week that the man he was working with in Home Depot died from Covid, and now in a local group on Facebook, two more died at Lowes. I'm just guessing that they were anti-vaxxer MAGAs.

If this is a pattern, maybe Lowes and Home Depot should make a push to get their workers vaccinated, for their own good.

Perhaps the death of co-workers will scare the hell out of them to get the shot? No sympathy for anyone not getting vaccinated at this point. Maybe a polite reminder to the check out or helpful workers that the shots prevent death may help shake them up.

to get away with leaving their noses out of their masks all of last year. It kept me from using them. Home Depot has an excellent order on-line, pick-up curbside plan. I used it several times.
