COVID and quitting job

[dragonyphoenix]

The latest wave of the virus in Bangladesh began about six weeks ago. On 15 May there were 261 new cases and 22 deaths reported. On Friday there were 5,869 new cases and 108 deaths - the country's second-highest daily death toll of the whole pandemic. - BBC

After the CDC director’s statement about “imminent doom” here in the US, I gave 4 days notice at my job rather than two weeks. This type of jump in cases is exactly why. It didn’t happen here but I wasn’t wrong to be concerned.

Oh, and for context, people in my last job did not wear masks. They did not wear masks and would get right in my face so not even a pretense at social distancing.

I can't say as I blame you for quitting. I am quite concerned with how my province is opening up so quickly, especially in light of that particular variant.

I have that same concern here.
