New York - The pregnant woman swore that her husband was healthy and should be at the hospital for the birth of their child. But soon after she welcomed their baby into the world, she started to exhibit symptoms linked to the novel coronavirus.

With the woman ill and doctors scrambling to contain any potential spread inside the maternity wing of Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y., the husband recently acknowledged to the hospital staff that there was something he had not disclosed: He had been exposed to the coronavirus and was showing symptoms.

On Tuesday, the University of Rochester Medical Center announced the couple and the newborn baby “were asked to quarantine, pending test results, to protect the community” sometime within the past week.

I don’t see the big deal considering about 85% of people who get tested don’t have it.

What a selfish a-hole. Got to see his kid born but potentially exposed doctors and nurses needed to deliver other people's kids.

I don’t get keeping the dad out of the delivery. The hospital staff could just as easily be infected as the father.

Edit: I am referring to dads in general not the jack wagon from the story. Of course if you have symptoms you shouldn’t be allowed in.

The staff has no choice but to be at the hospital. It’s their duty during this crisis. This guy should’ve known better if he had symptoms.

I should have clarified. I was responding to post about dads in general not being allowed in right now. Not that fricking moron.

This is the stupidest thing I read on here this evening.

Yeah the staff COULD have it. They take proper measure to try to avoid getting it, but sure there is a chance they could have it and not know about it. But if someone knowingly has it.. And decides to go to the hospital to see his wife give birth. He not only put his wife and new born at risk, but sick people in the hospital. frick him.

Why is it so hard for people to have to sacrifice some things in a situation like we are in?
