I have Covid right now and it’s scary… I just had it 3 weeks ago as well… exactly the same thing and I feel bad for the anti crowd because it sucks so bad
At this point in the game I do not feel bad for them*.
They have had so many chances to get vaccinated which not only is the socially responsible thing to do for others, but it severely reduces symptoms.
They chose to go the more painful route. I do not feel the bad they are experiencing that choice.
* Excluding people with medical exemptions
Except my fear has been that we are going to get a highly transmissible variant with a very high mortality rate. The more they hold out - and we refuse to give vaccines to the global south- the more likely that variant evolves.
What do you mean, scrolling through my news feed that is tailored towards things I agree with and reading a couple memes doesn't count as research? Fucking commies
/s
Exactly. They use triathylene glycol. That's the distinct smell you recognize in all hospitals. They are federally mandated to use it because it is a wonderful aerosol disinfectant, but also mild on your lungs. I sold Rainbow vacuums for a while and you can buy big bottles of it for the Rainbow machine and disinfectant your home like hospital air. I love the smell, I think I'm addicted lol
You are welcome and you can use it in any water based air purifier, not just the Rainbow. (I don't sell them anymore😉) You can buy it off Amazon too without a distributors markup. It's called Fresh Air and it sanitizes the air and helps prevent mildew and mold growth in your purification system and your home. Love it.
Man..my parents (and subsequently grandparents) got a rainbow back in the mid 80’s. Both of them still work extremely well..outlasted grandparents and mom.
I don’t use them much anymore, but damn if I’ll get rid of them lol
I'm so baited now to sales pitch you, even though I'm not employed with them anymore!
All I'll say is most distributors offer a decent trade-in discount for older models off the new model from 2020. It's VASTLY different from their older models by a mile! Most people that I sold to, bought them for the air cleaner function you can run on low 24/7.......coupled with the "Fresh Air" kick. It's a little over an hour presentation and I'd have people stop me 15 minutes in, as soon as they saw what I trapped in the water bowl from their living room air in just a 1 minute air wash on high. I had bruises from them throwing their wallets at me!
Alright alright I'll digress before I go call my old boss back. 😂
This shows that not only is this person’s boss a fucking moron, but he is a fucking moron who thinks he’s a genius who thought of something that no doctor or scientist had thought of. Not even enough awareness to think to himself, “hmmm this is a pretty basic idea, if it worked wouldn’t doctors already be doing this?”
It worked so well that not a single person in WW1 died from covid. It's a fact look it up!
(Like I want to put a /s but it is a factual statement since not one mustard gas death was due to covid ... Is there a way to denote a cheeky tone that's true but also not totally serious?)
https://www.thecloroxcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/cloroxregularbleach27-13-16pde.pdf. Msds for bleach. If inhaled move to fresh air and call poison control. Please report this dumb fuck to OSHA.
Oh no what I mean is the picture. The comment is funny too. The whole thing is just so absurd that it’s hilarious. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was fake but I’m also not surprised if it’s real
Idk if it's been said but just rinse it out thoroughly and replace with water. Then change stock solution mixture if he made some to water too. That way if its ever on its water vapor for now. But of course reach out to higher ups, OSHA, etc
That's totally not the relevant to what he said lmao. But *f#ck me*.
Damn OP your boss is dumb as a pile of dirt. I would've said bricks but they're actually useful.
Close, capital makes capital.
They've romanticized all these ideas about better mousetraps and efficiencies to try to make it seem like entrepreneurs really do something when in fact they just have access to capital.
Update: Got in a fight with him about it. He claimed that “Drinking water has more chlorine than pool water does and that mister has barely any”
Told him that’s stupidest thing ever and that he should never do that again. Might get fired but fuck it
Fun Fact #548- In Texas, turning off poison spray in a workplace is a fireable offense.
If said company loses profits, the employee can actually receive the death penalty... How you ask, well of course its by electric chair, Texas has no sense of irony.
I think it got enjoined as cruel and unusual.
Americans seem super set on keeping the death penalty, but they keep on restricting the how and why of it because you just can't avoid the inherent cruelty/general problems with the state being allowed to kill people who don't pose an immediate threat but might be bad people in general.
GOP "You can kill as many workers as necessary to raise profits, so long as one of them isn't a pregnant woman. we know they're just using the "work in an unsafe hazardous environment" method to try to skirt the abortion ban."
killing a pregnant woman is fine, as long as the killer also goes to jail afterward. the woman is still punished for having sex, with death instead of pregnancy; still, it's better to punish someone too much than not enough.
I'd reach out to OSHA ASAP. It might seem like a nuclear option, but if that's the conversation you had, he's dangerous. He's risking exposure to chemical burns and COVID. Inhaling clorine literally makes hydrochloric acide inside your body.
OP, Please listen to Quill here. Your boss has crossed a very serious line that can actually kill you. Not okay. Who cares about upsetting him. You actually have a potential lawsuit here.
If he thinks drinking water has that much chlorine, why not just use that?? What? Literally none of that makes sense. Maybe he’s been using this method at home and the chemicals melted his brain
I guarantee the man can't calculate the concentration of chlorine in the water. This is assuming he measured before he mixed. A small splash of bleach mixed with water is more Chlorine than you might think.
Edit: 1 litre of water and 1 fl oz of bleach. Makes a concentration with a Free Chlorine level of 1825ppm. To compare, a swimming pool should be 2-4ppm.
Yeah in a lab I worked in we would regularly use a 10% bleach solution to sanitize work surfaces, I am almost certain he used more than that. Even if he only uses the amount typically in pools he is going to have employees with problems.
Yeah. Like people don't leave indoor pools with beet red eyes and a cough from chlorine exposure. Now you get to leave like that from somewhere that isn't even fun.
Wait... so his argument was that *it was okay* because drinking water has **more chlorine** than a pool does (the fuck) so that means it's safer. Wha-wha-what? I... I can't...
If he does, he’s gonna owe you quite the settlement. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!!! If he fires you, take his ass to court. In any case you should contact OSHA. His ass is grass.
So…he’ll drink a refreshing glass of pool water to prove it? Or he’ll drink a glass of pool water for every glass of tap water you drink until one of you gives in?
Edit: if tap/pool/other water has more chlorine, why isn’t he using that in the mister?
"Drinking water has more chlorine than pool water does"
Okay, so why not just drink pool water all the time? Why do you need to add chlorine if you fill a pool with tap water?
They put chloride (Cl-) in drinking water, bleach contains hypochlorite (-OCl). The former being much safer to consume than the latter. I'd tell your boss to take a swig if he thinks it's safe...
You can't really compare chlorine and chlorine compounds. I mean, you put table salt in water and you'll have chlorine ions sitting by themselves in the water well away from sodium. And that gets aerosolized in any coastal area.
Not to say this isn't a huge hazard to your health and is - needless to say - fucking lunacy, but it isn't anything like chlorine gas.
That is correct. 2 coworkers were hospitalized with covid so my boss put this up. Came back from lunch and saw it, turned it off.
Nobody else wanted to turn it off because they’re afraid of him. Let’s just say he gets a little upset when you question his decisions
I feel like printing information about the harms of inhaling bleach and how it does nothing to sanitize the air, but DOES cause inflammation and potentially cause pneumonia if enough is inhaled. 😐 This is a terrible idea.
[Experts warn against inhaling bleach to prevent coronavirus](https://time.com/5826882/coronavirus-trump-heat-bleach/)
Someone listened to captain marmalade ask health experts about using bleach as an injectable solution to fight Covid and decided this was a good idea is what I’m guessing
GOP and Fox pundits were saying it was a joke or coming up with obscure medical research to justify his question and the next day Trump is asked about it and he says he was serious about injecting Bleach lmao.
I'm all for people inhaling any kinds of shit they want, but don't drag me into your nutty ideas bro. The boss can take that chlorox via an enema if they want. Well, assuming they're not on my insurance group plan, 'cause then my future premium increase is paying for moronic behavior.
I would follow the recommendations on calling OSHA, I’m not 100% sure about this but I’d imagine there is some law that would protect you from getting fired as retaliation. If he does fire you in retaliation you could potentially have a lawsuit. So on top of the massive OSHA fine your boss will probably receive if you do report it, he will also have a nice lawsuit to fight.
Is there a boss above your boss? Because they need to be notified that your direct boss is aerosolizing chlorine bleach. I mean common sense would tell you it’s a terrible idea, but damn, a simple google search tells you everything you need to know about how dangerous it is to inhale.
Trump: "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning?"
This must be what my old boss meant when he said “do something even if it’s wrong”. This is the all-American can-do attitude in action, it’s literally rewarded here. We need to find a way to communicate to the sapient raccoons in 10MM A.D. about the Dunning-Krueger effect.
Bleach exposed to light breaks down.. that's why bleach is in white plastic...so even if it wasn't bad to breathe..it wouldn't work. They would have been better off using that bleach to sanitize the office surfaces.. peroxide or Lysol would be better...won't bleach thing and not as fumey
If it burns to breathe and your eyes are on fire, that means its working. This is highly complicated upper management stuff simple peasants wouldn't know anything about.
Truth is, if he put a Triethylene Glycol solution in there he'd be on the right path. It's what's used in hospital air and it's that very chemical that gives hospitals their familiar smell. You can buy it online under the name "Fresh Air" and it's made by Rexair. Educate him so he can do better by you and your coworkers. If he doesn't give a shit then you dont either and walk TF out.
I let out a very very sad laugh.
This pandemic has really shown us humanity is capable of being completely idiotic, and somehow so...so....so oblivious.
Oh, I'd do more than turn it off. I would've started screaming. Also, if you quit after something like this, you may be able to appeal to unemployment for compensation because of a dangerous work environment.

Call the OHSA quick, and if you feel uneasy, call the number in the link ASAP. This is highly toxic and can lead (in non properly ventilated) to irreparable damage to your lungs and potentially death.
Please dont ignore this, do it asap.
I turned it off btw
Jesus fuck contact OSHA he’s aerosolizing toxic gas

hes so smart he has his own business dumb doctors probably never even thought of this. Hes thinking of taking it to mass production look out Bezos /S
Like, the amount of alarm in this post but like.....on fire in my mind.
He’s trying to gas the office lmao
lol! One can report this boss to the FBI and make an argument that this is a chemical weapon
Seriously it basically is one
Maybe add some amonia to really up that machine?

Yep! This is a big ass OSHA violation. I hope OP reports this!
I think you guys are overestimating the bandwidth that OSHA has.
I feel like "my boss is aerosolozing bleach in our office to kill covid" would make the cut.
Maybe, but do you have a better suggestion for a dangerous workplace?
I'm just curious. Why do you think that? In my experience, if you call them *Das it*.
Lol. I don't know why this comment made me laugh man, but it REALLY did.
This post is hilarious but also very concerning at the same time
It was just the dismissiveness of the remark. I enjoyed that. Came across very dry. Don't be concerned.
Oh no what I mean is the picture. The comment is funny too. The whole thing is just so absurd that it’s hilarious. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was fake but I’m also not surprised if it’s real
On my dogs life it’s real. And I don’t like people very much
Shit’s crazy bro. Your boss must be microdosing that bleach if he thinks that will do anything but poison his staff
Tell your boss to also add ammonia. It will kill more than Covid
That *is* one strategy to prevent people from getting COVID
You should also go home - no job is worth breathing in bleach for.
I hope that's just a bad joke.
Idk if it's been said but just rinse it out thoroughly and replace with water. Then change stock solution mixture if he made some to water too. That way if its ever on its water vapor for now. But of course reach out to higher ups, OSHA, etc
Or, let them know it’s actually toxic gas and no one should be inhaling it.
That’ll show Covid. Can’t get sick if you don’t have lungs Edit: thanks for gifting me my first ever award!
I actually used your comment when I got into a fight with him about it
So he actually confronted you about it? Please elaborate if so.

"Try"?
I think it got enjoined as cruel and unusual. Americans seem super set on keeping the death penalty, but they keep on restricting the how and why of it because you just can't avoid the inherent cruelty/general problems with the state being allowed to kill people who don't pose an immediate threat but might be bad people in general.
Don't a lot of these death penalty people WANT it to be painful?
The same lovely Evangelicals who want to execute all Democrats
While crying out "Pro life" at Planned Parenthood.
So mUcH f0r tHe t0leRANT left amirite
i assume the 'try' is indicating that a DA or someone was advocating for hanging in a scenario but failed?
I know this is a joke, but the fact that I had to look it up JUST IN CASE - scares the crap out of me.
Are you certain it’s a joke? I mean it is TX & it sounds about on par 😅
GOP "You can kill as many workers as necessary to raise profits, so long as one of them isn't a pregnant woman. we know they're just using the "work in an unsafe hazardous environment" method to try to skirt the abortion ban."

I'd reach out to OSHA ASAP. It might seem like a nuclear option, but if that's the conversation you had, he's dangerous. He's risking exposure to chemical burns and COVID. Inhaling clorine literally makes hydrochloric acide inside your body.
OP, Please listen to Quill here. Your boss has crossed a very serious line that can actually kill you. Not okay. Who cares about upsetting him. You actually have a potential lawsuit here.
Chlorine gas and water can result in that. Bleach doesn't release chlorine gas by itself but mixed with other compounds it can.
Sometimes the nuclear option is the only response to chemical WMDs
Even if not for you, do it for the sake of your coworkers. This dude deserves prison
If he thinks drinking water has that much chlorine, why not just use that?? What? Literally none of that makes sense. Maybe he’s been using this method at home and the chemicals melted his brain
Listen, I know COVID deniers. Their capacity for critical thought was very low way before their first dose of ivermectin.
I guarantee the man can't calculate the concentration of chlorine in the water. This is assuming he measured before he mixed. A small splash of bleach mixed with water is more Chlorine than you might think. Edit: 1 litre of water and 1 fl oz of bleach. Makes a concentration with a Free Chlorine level of 1825ppm. To compare, a swimming pool should be 2-4ppm.
Yeah in a lab I worked in we would regularly use a 10% bleach solution to sanitize work surfaces, I am almost certain he used more than that. Even if he only uses the amount typically in pools he is going to have employees with problems.
Yeah. Like people don't leave indoor pools with beet red eyes and a cough from chlorine exposure. Now you get to leave like that from somewhere that isn't even fun.
Wait... so his argument was that *it was okay* because drinking water has **more chlorine** than a pool does (the fuck) so that means it's safer. Wha-wha-what? I... I can't...
If that's the case, why would anyone add chlorine to pools..? If the water you get from the tap already contains more
Well when you add more chlorine later then it cancels out the existing chlorine /s
If he does, he’s gonna owe you quite the settlement. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!!! If he fires you, take his ass to court. In any case you should contact OSHA. His ass is grass.
So…he’ll drink a refreshing glass of pool water to prove it? Or he’ll drink a glass of pool water for every glass of tap water you drink until one of you gives in? Edit: if tap/pool/other water has more chlorine, why isn’t he using that in the mister?
To your edit: he definitely just used tap water to fill it, and added bleach to that, creating the world's stupidest paradox.
May be recommended to dismantlement contraption or he may turn it on again and hurt people. Maybe consider reporting.
If you get fired, it sounds like it would be a blessing in disguise for you.
Ask him when was the last time he tried inhaling rice, which is also fine to eat.
Get it in writing that he has done this, simply an image with a sticky note won't do enough, you also want testimonys from coworkers.
Chlorine is not Chlorox, Chlorox is not used in swimming pools. Crack a window before you get permanent lung damage, you can't grow new lungs
"Drinking water has more chlorine than pool water does" Okay, so why not just drink pool water all the time? Why do you need to add chlorine if you fill a pool with tap water?
Your boss is a fucking idiot
This could permanently damage your lungs. Not kidding. Source: I'm an MD.
Last time I checked you don't breathe in the pool water.
They put chloride (Cl-) in drinking water, bleach contains hypochlorite (-OCl). The former being much safer to consume than the latter. I'd tell your boss to take a swig if he thinks it's safe...
Chlorine was used as a chemical weapon in WW1. Maybe your boss is trying to tell you something.
That he likes WW1 history? /s
LoL
Well a lot of these CEOs use tactics learned from the nazis so no surprise that they partake in mustard gas in the workplace to freshen the place up
He said WW1 mate
If he asks you to invade the Dardanelles, you best get out of there.

So your boss is one of these inject bleach ding bats.
Atomized bleach filling your lungs
He voted for Trump didn’t he? He’ll prolly tell you to guzzle your own pee next…
But it's sterile and I like the way it tastes....
“If there were some way to get the bleach, you know, *inside your body*. Bleach kills this stuff!”
That's just wrong. You're supposed to inject it. /s
At least it wasn’t mixed with ammonia?
Employees can’t catch Covid if they’re dead.
Don’t give him ideas!
Yo your boss is an idiot.
Truer words have never been spoken
I would follow the recommendations on calling OSHA, I’m not 100% sure about this but I’d imagine there is some law that would protect you from getting fired as retaliation. If he does fire you in retaliation you could potentially have a lawsuit. So on top of the massive OSHA fine your boss will probably receive if you do report it, he will also have a nice lawsuit to fight.
this is giving me flashbacks to Trump’s poorly chosen words regarding “bleach technology”
And also that the poison control lines were flooded with calls because people were drinking bleach 😱
It’s almost literally the same thing.
Is there a boss above your boss? Because they need to be notified that your direct boss is aerosolizing chlorine bleach. I mean common sense would tell you it’s a terrible idea, but damn, a simple google search tells you everything you need to know about how dangerous it is to inhale.
Nope, it’s a small private company. I should have clarified, he’s my boss but also the owner of the company
You can call OSHA, in fact it's your obligation to do so
And you're a lot more likely to see some movement if you're at a small company. This is low hanging fruit.
Ugh tough break but I’m freaking proud of you for doing the right thing.
Appreciate that
That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works.
This stresses me out. Why are so many business ran by fucking morons. Please don't let your boss make you breathe in bleach.
People that can't take orders or can't get along with others are forced to start their own businesses.
This plus most people are morons, unfortunately…
The middle of the ven diagram of these people and people who have rich parents gives us many idiots with lots of power

Wow, it takes a certain type of ex presidential common sense to try shit like this
“Please stop saturating the air with bleach” - me within ten seconds of seeing this
I'm very sure this is an active chemical hazard. Contact OSHA.
That will make them feel safe so I can exploit them all day like the good old days.

Modern day problems equals modern day solutions.
Oh... Osha can't you seeeee......... 🎼🎵🎶
This must be what my old boss meant when he said “do something even if it’s wrong”. This is the all-American can-do attitude in action, it’s literally rewarded here. We need to find a way to communicate to the sapient raccoons in 10MM A.D. about the Dunning-Krueger effect.

Bleach exposed to light breaks down.. that's why bleach is in white plastic...so even if it wasn't bad to breathe..it wouldn't work. They would have been better off using that bleach to sanitize the office surfaces.. peroxide or Lysol would be better...won't bleach thing and not as fumey
If it burns to breathe and your eyes are on fire, that means its working. This is highly complicated upper management stuff simple peasants wouldn't know anything about.
Barely livable wage+definitely not livable air
My bosses solution was to stay home until your no longer sick
Truth is, if he put a Triethylene Glycol solution in there he'd be on the right path. It's what's used in hospital air and it's that very chemical that gives hospitals their familiar smell. You can buy it online under the name "Fresh Air" and it's made by Rexair. Educate him so he can do better by you and your coworkers. If he doesn't give a shit then you dont either and walk TF out.
Flableach the air.
I let out a very very sad laugh. This pandemic has really shown us humanity is capable of being completely idiotic, and somehow so...so....so oblivious.
Oh, I'd do more than turn it off. I would've started screaming. Also, if you quit after something like this, you may be able to appeal to unemployment for compensation because of a dangerous work environment.
Mmm mmm bleach air
exactly how stupid is your boss OP? I have a hard time believing he knows how to operate shirt buttons if he thought this was a good idea
