Take some Airborne and get enough sleep! If the incubation period is 14 days, you've probably been exposed for some time, so now you just have to hope your immune system is up to the challenge.

Yes fingers crossed on that one!

Spoke with people in the office and the gossip is the staff in question is a temp staff, and they all sit right behind me. Literally spent the whole eve measuring my temperature 🤦🏻‍♀️ (2/2).

For the record, being paranoid can also lower your immune system. Not that youd get the same sickness as them, but if you get sick it could be simply from the stress.

That’s a lot of time with a thermometer.
Maybe try other quasi preventative things, like take shower, wash clothes you wore to office, hydrate, consume vitamin c, clean off office things you brought home (phone laptop etc). These may or may not help but they sure sound more productive than just measuring temperature.

I have washed my clothes, washed my bedsheet and cleaned phone and laptop. I take vitamin daily too.

It just came as a surprise, and tbh almost everybody is panicking as we don't know who the suspected person is? There's anger from some people as well as apparently the management knew at 6 pm and told a pregnant staff, but the rest are kept in the dark.

Stop stressing and start hydrating and sleeping more I guess?

Hey folks, A person who is more experienced than our team members showing unnecessary interest in some work related to project and torturing us who is 2/3 yrs less experienced than that person. He acts as if he is superior and nobody will actually care. I thought of reporting the concern to my delivery lead or manager of the account, but stepped back thinking of later happenings. The project is good but this person is making team sick and actually making it a toxic environment. Any suggestions?

Will vs Trust:

Which do you use (if any estate planning) and why? Recently talked with a layer on getting a will and they are trying to steer me to a trust.

Demographics for ref: 30, live in GA, unmarried, no kids, no real estate (yet, planning to buy after market cools). I don’t envision I’ll amass a ton of physical assets over my life so really just need to say where my various $ accts go (401k, pension, IRA, etc)

Trust cost was $2,900. Didn’t give price for will.
