Hospice SLO County Executive Director Shannon McOuat has always dealt with allergies, so when she noticed her throat starting to feel scratchy, she didn t think much of it. On Friday, Dec. 11, McOuat and another individual McOuat declined to name that person for privacy reasons were in the same room together in a building at a safe distance with masks on.

That s when McOuat s scratchy throat became scary. click to enlarge Photo Courtesy Of Tom Meinhold
