I totally agree with previous posts about staying home.  Even if it wasn't Covid, there are other respiratory illnesses that some people cannot recover from easily, or perhaps their loved ones.  I would be very uncomfortable around someone that sounded so sick.

Pat came in at 11:00 a.m. for her.  2 hours early!

I've heard quite a few hosts show up on air when they can barely speak.

very inconsiderate to come to work that sick especially with in the middle of flu season and Covid still circulating everywhere!  She doesn't need the $$ I'm sure qvc employees have sick  days coming even if she did.   use them !!!

I would say there was no one to come in for her, mary beth has always seemed to be a very nice lady.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

QVC probably was scrambling around to try to find someone to come in for her. Mary Beth doesn't seem like the type to come in sick like that unless there was absoltuely no one to cover her shift.

 

QVC rewards its hosts very generously according to an article I read years ago as far as salaries, and timeoff, so I doubt very much it was that she didn't have any sick days to use!

 

Glad Pat was able to come in for her.....Where I work it is very discouraged to come in sick, work from home or take a sick or personal day.....

If Mary Beth has been on an antibiotic for 24 hrs she is no longer contagious.

What?  Viruses do not respond to antibiotics.

Im think in some cases, money can be a problem, but MB?

She has been on for over 30 years, and maybe as we older folks work habits are to go in no matter what.

In the older days, we didn't have sick leave and needed to support our family, but today, things have changed and they can't put the same restriction on workers.

She has her reasons, only she knows.
