So we are mandated by the Governor to practice workplace safety. Our office is required to issue PPE (disposable surgical masks) and check employee temperatures before coming in the building. The guy in the office next to me refuses to comply. He will not wear a mask and hasn't since the requirements. The employer won't do much about it.
Everyone had to work from home for two weeks in April because the same guy shook someone's hand at a gas station that had a family member with Covid19. Last Monday, he went home feeling ill around 10 am (allergy symptoms in his words). He was out Tuesday. Inexplicably came in Wednesday and was out Thursday. We were closed for Independence Day on Friday. Thursday we found out his wife had been running a fever and she had been around three positive cases. Yesterday, we find out a worker in another building who's gf has the same maiden name as his wife and goes to the same church is positive along with his gf. Last night we find out the coworker next to me is positive. Half the office was getting swabbed. My temperature was 97.1F despite it being 95F and wearing a mask. I've worked out 4 times in two days and feel fine for now. Now I wait 48-72 hours. They are cleaning the building tomorrow. We are reopening Thursday. The doctor told me to quarantine until I get my test result. The office said come in unless you're symptimatic, which is totally reckless as it could be spread around. Apparently not everyone in the building agrees to get tested to complicate things. Some who just returned from Florida. To make matters worse the guy that has it has been trying to come back to work within the first week. Apparently sending nastygrams to our HR manager in supposedly a joking manner that is being let go because he's a manger and they are friends. He told me Covid19 was a hoax and it was created by the Democrats to get at Trump. He thinks the answer is herd immunity. Over 20 people at his church apparently have it I just learned. I actually think he may have wanted to get it believing he could gain immunity.He has some extreme views. He has lost the trust of the office. I'm very angry with him. It's going to cause a major rift. Management seems okay with him which sucks.
My wife is in heart and liver failure. She needs a partial lung transplant. We have to live on separate sides of the house for 2 to 3 weeks per her doctors. No contact, sharing utensils, or food. Her cardiologist and pulmonologist have said she will not survive Covid19 (my coworker knew this as did my boss). Going forward I plan to get in contact my my boss about the situation. I have to stay home until I get my results. Also, it isn't safe until everyone else gets their results. This is a bad situation. I actually need to go in tomorrow and now it's a mess. I just hope my result is negative. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Btw the test doesn't hurt. It tickled. Afterward I had a good laugh. For some they do get a rush of drainage and nose bleeds though they told me.
