It’s starting to hit close to home for me. My mom called yesterday and told me a patient in another wing of the assisted living place she lives in just got diagnosed.
And this morning a coworker whose cubicle is about 8’ feet from mine stood up shortly after I got in, and said he had to leave because his fiancé just called and said someone she works with just got diagnosed, so he left to self quarantine.
Meantime they are letting everyone work from home but I’m trapped because I’m one of the few who hadn’t been upgraded to a laptop yet. Ironically a coworkers last day was a week ago Friday and his laptop is still there. However, the bureaucracy of the IT department means you can’t just assign it to someone else. They are supposed to pick it up and then assign to another employee.
I’ll pretty much have the place to myself tomorrow so that is social distancing I guess....
