Day 134

March 17, 2020

The view from the window of my physical therapist’s office. This is just past seven in the morning. Just as I was about to head to work I got a call saying one of our coworkers called in sick and we were all going to stay home because we aren’t sure what he has come down with. His symptoms aren’t quite those of the CoronaVirus but our supervisor does not want to take any chances. He went to the doctor this afternoon and has been diagnosed with an ear infection. We’re all so relieved, it was a bit tense for a few hours. The fact that one person calling in sick could keep us all away from work is really a sign of how quickly and drastically things are changing. We are going back tomorrow but we are not finishing the week. There is a possibility we may get stay at home orders from the mayor before the end of the week. So there would be no chance we could go back anyway. This is surreal.
