They’ve broken some people
A researcher was due in the office this morning to study some papers from our archives. I’d never met him before. He was a weedy-looking forty-something.
He didn’t arrive until 12:30 and I explained to him that he only had until 1:00 because my co-worker, who could stay later, had called in this morning with covid.
Holy cats, the reaction! He turned white and jumped back, clutching his briefcase.
“WAS SHE HERE THIS MORNING? DO YOU HAVE COVID?” He managed to fumble a mask out of his case with shaking hands, which he wore for the rest of the time. He did eventually calm down enough to sit and go through the papers, but what a nutcase.
She did, by the way. Phone in with covid. She said she thought at first she had the flu, but then she tested positive.
Why do people test? What would you do differently if it were the flu?
Strong rumors here that they’re going to try masking and lockdowns again this fall for the fresh new variant. I think they may have a surprise coming.
