“Health Times” reported on May 25 that in response to the recent increase in the number of “two-yang” patients in China, an infectious disease expert at a tertiary hospital in Beijing stated that “two-yang” patients should be isolated at home and not go to work with illness, which is not only harmful The infected person recovers, which also causes the virus to spread.

A netizen on Weibo broke the news that the epidemic has spread to a large area, and some patients with “two yang” died: “My brother-in-law said that their company has a total of seven floors of offices, and no one went to work on one floor last week. Yang. My second aunt and sister-in-law Eryang. Last month at Xiehuamao School, only a dozen children went to school, and there was influenza A and the new crown. The younger brother’s godmother and the elders of the employees have been sick for many years. They were originally very stable. It’s gone, it’s gone. You can’t stop it, you can only ask for blessings.”
Many netizens felt helpless when experts suggested that Eryang patients should be isolated at home. What about the deducted wages?”
“Oh my god, why do you suggest us? You suggest the company? Advise the boss? Is it useful to advise us? We want to rest at home, and the leaders and personnel do not grant leave.”
“When you are sick, you worry about your salary first, and then your health. You are still afraid of losing your job. It’s really sad. You don’t dare to refuse when you are asked to work overtime for entertainment. Your body becomes sick from overwork, and your two yangs are vulnerable, but who cares? “
Some netizens bluntly said: “Don’t suggest, please download the red-headed document.” “So why didn’t the red-headed document say that you should not go to work when you are masculine, and give maternity leave.” “Why didn’t the central government speak.”
