This post is more for my own records than anything else. I just feel like...I don't know, it feels important to document it, or something.
Three years almost to the day that we were sent home from spring break and told we should expect not to return, Matt and I came down with covid.
The moment we learned Matt had gotten a place in Seattle FD, we defaulted back to being extremely cautious. We'd been a little more lenient with our masks and such, but we knew that covid could set him back and we wanted to do everything in our power to ensure he got through drill school unscathed.
Despite our best efforts, a recruit came down with covid and spread it to three others in the cohort. Matt was one of them.
