EXCLUSIVE: MultiCare ordered symptomatic, COVID-positive staff to treat patients at their hospitals, according to a memo obtained by the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.
"You could be dizzy, coughing, whatever," a staffer said.
I confirmed another hospital is doing the same thing. There's a press conference tomorrow with the Governor and DOH. I'm willing to be this all comes out, then local media will cover it and pretend my report never came out.
Confirmed: COVID-positive staff are NOT required to reveal they are COVID-positive to their patients.
MultiCare will not disclose how many unvaccinated staff were fired due to @GovInslee’s vaccine mandate.
There’s a press conference on Thursday. I expect this issue comes up.
MORE: MultiCare confirmed they released 55 staff due to @GovInslee's vaccine mandate.
They also said that 202 beds are occupied by patients who needn't be there.
Due to nursing staffing shortages at other facilities -- like elder care facilities -- they can't be released.

Yesterday Rep. @tedlieu tweeted, "Remember, under the former admin., we ran out of toilet paper? That didn't happen under the Biden admin." It included video.
I RTed him and noted that we've run out of food and medicine due to #BareShelvesBiden. Lieu *just* deleted his tweet.
@tedlieu is a professional Twitter troll who moonlights as a congressman.
This is what a partisan hit piece looks like. @KING5Seattle hopes to be Seattle's woke local news network. They frame news through race.
Despite Dems gerrymandering to gut almost every Republican district out of existence in WA, they focus on a complaint from one Dem activist.
The complaint is that one district map submitted by a Republican on the commission, @paulgraveswa, is racist for "cutting essentially Black and Brown neighborhoods out of the map."
Except all it does is make a previous district more diverse, which makes it more competitive.
Graves and the other Republican commissioner have tried to make almost all districts actually competitive. Democrats have said they want to do to the opposite. That's abuse -- the kind that progressives used to claim to be against.
WA is preparing to lose up to 5% of hospital staff next week (approx. 7500 people). One hospital will lose half its physical therapy dept. Services will be postponed.
The folks labeled heroes, working unvaccinated for 18 months, suddenly pose a COVID threat & must be fired.
I said this at the start, I'm willing to bet that Gov Inslee will rescind his order at the last minute and claim enough people were vaccinated.
He'll pretend he didn't force thousands into a decision they weren't ready for or wanted... all under threat of job loss.
One of the two hospitals in Grays Harbor County has already been forced to close an entire floor because of a lack of staff, according to Dr. Julie Buck, the Grays Harbor County Emergency Medical Services Program Director. -KIRO 7 TV
BREAKING: WA Dept of Children, Youth, & Families sent out a letter today to terminate unvaccinated workers. It says they will lose their jobs on October 18.
As of 9-20, the vaccination rate at @waDCYF’s main department office was only 50.21% (of 4,075).
As of that same date, they rejected most of the requested religious accommodations — they only deemed 87 of the 260 requests they reviewed (out of 318 total) coming from truly religious people.
They judged the rest as liars but are not qualified to do so.
At their Echo Glen, Green Hill, and Naselle locations, they’ve so far refused to accommodate any religious exemptions.
Roughly 70-75% of those employees were unvaccinated as of 09-20.
