canyonwalker: coronavirus (coronavirus)

I've been in company business meetings most of the past 2 days, sitting in a conference room with 20ish people. This evening at dinner I found out the colleague I've been sitting next to the past 2 days just tested positive for Covid-19. He skipped dinner and [edit:] drove home where he used an at-home test. He sent an email to everyone at the meetings advising of us positive result.

I wrote in response to his email, mindful of the large cc list:

Speaking as one of the people sitting right next to you the past two days, "Aww, sh😰t." Get better soon, and thanks for notifying us.

It's not a given that I'll be sick. I've had a successful record as a Covid dodger. I've never had Covid. Though I do worry. I already feel some cold-like symptoms— which could be a just a stray cough or two. But the sad fact of life in a world where Covid has become globally endemic is that any stray cough is reason for concern it's something worse.

My spouse has already chosen to sleep in a separate room from me. I'll watch myself for symptoms and use an at-home Covid test if it seems like I'm getting ill.

Aw man, that sucks. I appreciate that your coworker was on top of things enough to actually reach out though --I feel like so many people aren't even bothering to get tested, much less to share that status!
