OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

So it’ll be a business’ responsibility in Oregon to violate HIPAA?

Papers, please!

 

Lol.

A private business asking if you're vaxxed isn't a hipaa violation.

Gleyber Torres becomes the eighth vaccinated Yankee to test positive for the coronavirus

 

Marjorie is authentically mentally ill.

 

It shows you some of the vast ignorance we're dealing with.

 

Personally, I’d call it ignorance with a massive side order of immaturity thrown in. but that’s just me……

 

I was just going off what Kate Brown said. She said they were examining options to give businesses the option to lift masking and distancing requirements - AFTER verifying vaccination status. It wasn’t mentioned in the article but in the attached video news snippet. What is your take on that comment?

 

And yes it is. You’re not required to provide personal medical information in exchange for unrelated goods or services. It’d be like a business asking if you’re gay or straight. It’s private, personal information, and when you factor in health and medical history HIPAA absolutely comes into play.

 

You don't have to disclose. If you don't care to tell a business you are vaccinated, wear a mask.

 

Hipaa would apply if the company asked your doctor, and the doctor provided them that information without your consent. Them asking you has absolutely nothing to do with a hipaa violation, private businesses arent covered under hipaa regulations.

 

I think it's unfortunate that low paid workers are going to be stuck enforcing the rules if their company decides they still want to require mask wearing, but I suppose they already have been many places.
But hipaa has nothing to do with it.

 

Yeah, HIPPA and examining someone's vaccine card might clash. You'd need a qualified lawyer to answer that.

 

Nah, just need a general understanding of HIPAA.

 

I don't know because I do not have the time nor the eyesight to read the fine print and leave it up to the thousands of others who have preceded me to know and approve of what ever I'm signing.

 

HIPAA refers to what medical personnel can release. It is absurdly weak, but that's another issue. It doesn't apply to anyone asking you, although you are within your rights to not answer.

There are medical questions I refuse to answer, but I have no problem saying I got Covid vaccine.

 

This is starting to become a no brainer. The vaccine is available and i don't know anyone who has had it that has had any serious adverse effects. Yes some got a bit sickly feeling but it passed quickly.
Go get vaccinated.

 

*Unless you play for the Yankees

 

The Yankees aren't sick with Covid. Only 1 has any symptoms at all.
