Last week a temporary worker/college student in our office called to say she had a fever. She was told to stay home and get tested for Covid. This weekend we found out she is positive. I didn't talk to her, but she was at my assistant's desk when I walked up. I was well more than six feet from her, but lots of other people were close.
Now we wait to see if anyone else in the office becomes sick. There are a number of 60+ year old people, and I'm worried for them.
What a random virus. For some people it's just the flu, and for others it's tragic. A friend living in Europe was in ICU for two weeks including one week on a ventilator. He survived but now can't even walk up a flight of stairs, and that doesn't seem to be improving.
I will continue to pretty much stay home. Just an occasional trip to the grocery store. There are a few guys who want to meet me, but I'll put them off. I don't want to meet anyone right now. It's hard to have none of that type of contact, but it's for the best.

smart of you. that is scary about your co-worker.
Hope that a proper contact tracing was performed and the people who came into close contact with her are quarantined! Stay safe, stay healthy.
Scary. Hope no one else gets it.
I hope you don't get it. This virus is crazy. Some people have no symptoms while others get really sick.
