And still if an EMS member becomes ill with COVID they have to use their sick/vacation time or maybe they let them go out on Workers Comp now. Perhaps any current members here can enlighten this old man on that.

You go out Covid, which is paid leave for two weeks. Doesn't use time from your other banks.
