COVID-19 @Work 8/20/2020

This post will be a bit different since we found out someone in our department tested positive. HR is notifying everyone he came in contact with, and they like will need to self-quarantine for 14-days. I only received a forwarded partial email but it appears he was in the office last on Thursday 8/13. I went into the office on Sunday 8/17 and did spend some time near his desk since it’s right beside the shredding bin. I think four days is enough for any virus in the air or on hard surfaces to dissipate or become inert. I also didn’t touch anything on or near his desk. Still, kinda scary.

Anyway, my test on Tuesday came back negative. Even if I was infected on Sunday, it’s probably not detectable after only two days, but makes me feel a bit better.

Also got a group text that one of my cell group member’s wife is sick with fever and tachycardia. She got tested but he said it may take 14 days to get the results back. That’s almost useless. Until now, I didn’t personally know anyone that was infected. Now I found out about two (maybe) in one day. I feel we’re far from done with this pandemic, regardless who is president.

Joe will bring us together to end this pandemic and make sure that we are prepared for the next one.
