Early Monday morning in October 2020 I wasn’t feeling well, I called in sick with a horrible headache. Two hours later I got a call from HR strongly urging me to get tested for Covid. I had direct contact with a positive case at work the prior Friday. Immediately our entire management team was on lockdown.
