Up to now he's been in quarantine because he traveled outside the country and the company has been enforcing a quarantine for such employees. So now he's out for 14 days past his symptoms going away.
He just came off of the post-travel quarantine a week ago. So where did he catch it?
The company has been on a "less-than-50%" policy in the office, where people are encouraged to work from home if they can, and be in the office/lab/factory only 50% of the time if they can't. I work from home all of the time, so my impact is minimal.
The upside of this is my colleagues etiquette on teleconferences has improved markedly. And our IT department has been phenomenal at keeping out VPN resources functioning with 300% of load.
Back to my boss - he was working to set up some equipment so that I could work through a software task - I now have to wait 21 days to get that resource. It's OK, I've got lots to occupy my time. But when is this gonna stop?
Get him on Hydroxychloroquine - zithromax - zinc before his symptoms worsen
Have him tell the doctor that he's planning on going to Africa next week so he can get some Trump pills
Our task is to have enough Trump pills, the Hydroxychloroquine.
Your boss's incubation time may have been longer than "usual." He may have got it overseas and only overseas.
When I thought I had it I had fever, fatigue, cough (the first day I hacked up a huge glob of brown shit) difficulties breathing and yes, absolutely no sense of taste or smell. Lasted about 3 weeks. The first week just felt like the flu with a cough, last 2 were just getting over it after the fever broke. I got it after a bunch of Mexicans from the city brought Mexican food to work, the virus wasn’t a huge deal then.

++Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is a mechanism by which viruses, such as dengue, HIV and Ebola, gain entry into some target cells through the use of host antiviral humoral immune responses [1]. Here, we studied the ability of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) [2] to use ADE mechanisms to enhance its infectivity towards cells of the hematopoietic lineage. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3019510/
He mentioned "pressure in his chest", which has since passed (I'm thinking I will be calling him...)
This guy needs treatment now. He could crash in another day or two. Other comments say what the treatment is.
