So you could do a pattern to LAX, test positive, end up in hospital, maybe in ICU, use up all of your medical insurance, still owe thousands. Have the days docked as sick days and have your salary cut.

Meanwhile DFO takes his xmas holidays (when he wanted them, not when they were allocated), returns to HKG and does his quarantine in a suite at The Peninsula, counting the days as office days. All paid for by the company.
