Three years ago today, our company's CIO announced the start of a two-week long "pandemic simulation" to gauge how we'd do if the disease eventually known as COVID-19 gained a toehold in the USA. That it lasted even a week before the company went to WFH for as many as possible was enough to get a leg up on what we needed to do to thrive during the subsequent pandemic. This is also my eleventh wedding anniversary; the events are now joined in my mind.
