An Anecdote About Being Exposed to the Novel Coronavirus

We live in two worlds - order and chaos. In the world of order, we plan, reflect, and think about what to do next. In the world of chaos, things happen, we get things done, yet unpredictability persists. In one world, we like to think we are in control. In the other, we mingle together with increasing complexity, conflict, and uncertainty.

31st Jan:

  I went to the town office for a road pass as the whole area had been under lockdown for days.

8th Feb: 

  A friend called to tell me that two officers from the town office were identified as suspected cases, and taken to hospital. 

  Everyone else from the office, as well as police officers in town, was in quarantine in their respective homes.

"Fun Part"

  While the town office had been working 24*7 to contain the virus, they failed to thoroughly check all their own officers. Only when two officers started coughing did the office find out that the husband of one suspected patient came back from Wuhan two days before the Spring Festival but didn't inform the town office about it.   What made it even more “fun" was this suspected patient was also the one taking charge of distributing the supplies and to the villages! How many people had she been in touch with in the past weeks? And, no one has informed me about this situation yet!  Luckily, I have not left my house after the day I visited the office. Now, I am going to continue staying at home waiting for an official call/notification from the office or local CDC ( although I do not really think the office would remember to make this call either).
