The clowns and bullies who downplay the pandemic, mock those that are staying home, and go to crowded parties say that they assume the risks and responsibilities of getting infected. But do they? Can they? /1
My father in law is the sole doctor at his small clinic for internal medicine and arthritis. In early March, his receptionist's son visited Spain. He thought it was safe, avoided anyone there with symptoms, and self-quarantined for 14 days when he returned. /2
The kid quarantined with his mother, my FIL's receptionist. He was asymptomatic and his test even came back negative. The receptionist then came back to work. But a few days later, over 3 weeks after the kid came back from Spain, she became deathly ill from covid. /3
As a result, my FIL's clinic was confronted with the threat of shutting down service to over a hundred needy patients or risk spreading the virus to this vulnerable population. Not to mention, the staff themselves and their families were put in danger too. /4
By fluke, all of them were spared, the virus didn’t spread. But b/c of what they went thru, it angers me to hear idiots say that partying is their personal choice. My FIL didn't get a say in that kid's decision. Neither did his patients. But they were all affected. /5
Lastly, if you’re a partner, friend, parent or leader of any kind, you bear some responsibility for the bad decisions of the ppl you care for too. Turning a blind eye is almost as bad as doing it yourself. It’s hard but try to lead ppl in your tribe in the right direction. /end
