Crazy story I have to share.

We found out yesterday that a brother I work with in our corporate office (but didn't really know) well passed away on Monday.

This brother was fairly young (only a year younger than me) and I was told by my supervisor on the low before people arrived to the office this morning that the cause of death was most likely COVID.

This brother was in the office last week at least in Wednesday and maybe after meaning it's possible he caught it at work and/or exposed others.

The crazy part is even after this no one in the office other than me wore a mask. I even heard someone in the office near where I sit coughing up a lung the entire day and no one seemed phased

It's just mind blowing to me, I can't wrap my mind around how even with someone that young and who works in your office dying they still don't think to put a mask on.
