We had a teammate at work who thought she was just having allergies but just to make sure she got a test. Unfortunately, since she was so certain it wasn't covid, she decided to continue work until she got the results. She didn't tell anyone at that point. But guess what? She was positive. She ended up endangering the rest of the employees she had contact with plus the patients she interacted with. Now everyone is mad at her.
