Space Jam Twilight Zone
Cut for COVID-19.
I think most people in my part of the world never anticipated how much they would be affected by the coronavirus outbreak that started last winter, myself included. Up until recently, I didn't feel unsafe.
Coworker responses have ranged from "this will all blow over in a few weeks" to "half of us are probably already infected." I'm definitely in between those two extremes. Somewhere.
I work in close proximity with positive cases. We lost one of them recently. They weren't much older than me.
I'll still be going in as usual. I'm required to check myself for symptoms every 12 hours. Visitors are no longer permitted, and the volunteers have been asked to stay home for now. There are temperature checks at all the entrances. If you present with a fever of over 100° or display any respiratory issues, you're not allowed in.
People here are spooked, if not outright scared. I'm doing my best to take precautions. I try to stay away from people. I don't take public transit anymore. It could be a lot worse. At least everyone I know seems to be taking the whole shelter in place thing pretty seriously. I just really don't want to fuck up at work.
I defaulted on all my fandom stuff (sorry recip, I was really excited to write for you). I hope that I'll be able to return to a state where I can appreciate the things that I found fun before, but right now, it's not happening. Bracing for whatever comes in the next few weeks.
