When you work at a small company you see everyone constantly. You eat lunch together. You use the same bathroom. When someone gets sick at least 2 other people are going to get it too... All within the week.
At a company of thousands it doesn't come as quickly. First there are far off rumblings of teams being down a few men. Then meetings get canceled because those people you only see in meetings are both out. Finally it starts hitting your team with a sneeze and a flurry of "Working from home and resting up emails".
I imagine this what the plague was like. But with less Dayquil.
