I know COVID is a normal part of life now, but I still hate when people are dumb about it. A coworker came into work sick yesterday and refused to -- (edited)

take a home test I had with me because she “didn’t want to know”. I work alongside her, and as a person with a chronic illness, I wanted to know. I ended up locked in a 3 ft x 6 ft isolation room with her yesterday. We were right next to each other for half an hour.

Guess who tested positive today? (edit: she did. I’m not sick YET. I’m just pissed about the direct contact that could have been avoided)

Like, this could have been avoided had you tested your ass at 8am and gone home sick!
