It's a social/political/news source litmus test

We had a staff meeting yesterday and at my urging we discussed COVID-19. I wanted to know what our plan was. Apparently we do have a pandemic protocol.

"Hysteria" "news media" "the flu is worse" etc. are clear give aways. I heard that from several people.
