Don’t be jealous you can’t think critically.

I live in St. Louis and we had our first confirmed case. Now for the stupid part.

Gal that studied abroad in Italy tested positive last Wednesday after coming back home. Family is self quarantined at home. Or supposed to be. Well, rich daddy decides it's ok for him to take his other daughter to her father-daughter dance. Now the school has shut down until they know more about whether dad and daughter infected others.

It’s the same mindset of the dumbasses that are saying everyone is panicking. They are convinced it’s “just the flu” and since it won’t kill them they don’t give a frick about anyone else. You think those people are going to quarantine? Not a fricking chance. Morons.

I don't understand cruise companies and airlines being willing to lose all this money if it is truly nothing. I am very confused.

He's getting blasted.

Daughter that came home did everything right. Dad did everything wrong.

They've now been told if they don't remain quarantined for the time being, they will be quarantined by force. Not sure if that much is true or just people speculating.

It is ridiculous that people like that would go to a dance or party or other non-essential event.

However, if I have mild symptoms and my company is forcing me to use vacation days or non paid days, zero chance I’m staying home. Just cold, hard reality and I have a feeling a lot of Americans are in that boat.

Luckily, I wouldn’t have an issue staying home, but if I was in the situation of losing pay or paid time off, it ain’t gonna come out of my pocket.

ETA: Nevermind. I thought I was in one of the other threads. I've been trying not to be too snarky in this one.

If anyone is wondering why quarantine worked in China and won't work here... this is example #1.

That mentality is another reason I think we need to be testing the mild symptoms as well. Further able to hopefully convince people to stay home.

For people not familiar with thins, what this means is that we will be able to identify patients who already had the disease and recovered without ever being tested. This is important to determine the true asymptomatic rate.


Sonare they going to test everyone?? Do they ask for volunteers to be tested?? How do they do this?

You have freedom until your freedom endangers others. You can’t do whatever you want in this country. Certainly you aren’t that naive right?
