A bunch of people I know have been infected recently. None of them were 
serious cases, but one person in particular had it as recently as last 
November and got it again a few weeks ago on a trip to New York City. In 
another case, a co-worker of my spouse had it (in a meeting, sitting 
next to spouse) a couple weeks ago. Within 24 hours of that exposure, 
spouse had a fever, no cough or congestion, and isolated in a room and 
tested negative three days in a row. No one else in our house developed 
any symptoms. I have heard anecdotal suggestions that the at-home-tests 
might be giving false negatives that PCR tests detect. Hard to know, 
given the fragmentary evidence, but it is out there circulating and, 
speaking from my own anecdotal experience, it isn't fun even when mild.

Within days. I'm not saying the Center as a building is "infected", 
but the broader risk is there. "You are welcome to get COVID, but it 
won't be from PLUG." ... And please don't bring it to PLUG.
