OT: Coronavirus

[Guest]

I could go into a dark hole spiral, see my last post.  When it's all said and done, it will come down to the bandwidth of this thing, too much time before you know you have it and not the patience to wait it out.

at what point does knowingly putting others at risk become a criminal act?   I have heard of one case where a person wasnt feeling well so went and got tested, but went back to their job working with the public while waiting for their test result.... which came back positive.  IMO that kind of disregard for others safety should have serious consequences.

This is exactly what Rand Paul did.  Got tested and while waiting for the results, worked out in the Senate gym and swam in the pool.  He tested positive. I just can’t believe the level of stupidity and arrogance this shows.

And he is a doctor....

He basically violated the Hippocratic Oath.

Perhaps his is dyslectic and thought it was hypocrite oath. Or,  I won't dis the Kentucky school system, he most likely went to private institution.

Coronavirus is reminding me that in major crises like this, you get a much clearer picture of good and bad humans, good and bad leaders. They just divide in times like this, don't they? It's like turning on a light and exposing reality. Good people do the right thing. They help, they encourage, they tell the truth. They think of others' needs ahead of their own. Bad people do what bad people do. They think only of themselves, they endanger others, they hoard. They exploit and mislead and try to profit.

 because of course a body couldnt be fighting or carrying both viruses.

Wait...what does that mean? So you can't have a cold and also the CV?

Okay, then he's just an arrogant jerk, does that fit the profile better?

I am fairly certain you can.   I would suspect that if you are fighting a cold already it could put you at higher susceptibility to catching other viruses,  but I cant say for sure.  I was being very sarcastic about my co workers logic in coming back to work sick after 10 days in another country.

I don't know either. I suspect even health professionals aren't even sure about many things related to this virus. I wonder if a cold might not activate a natural defense system that might also help fight off the virus. Talking out of my ass here. Have no idea.

Turning on a black light in a hotel room and exposing reality...The reality we see playing out for the good and bad in people and leadership too. 

In this case a Motel 6 in Lakeland FL.

My first thought was Luminol but I watch a lot of crime shows. But PF's description is spot on as is this thread. We are seeing and will continue to see the best and worst in people. We will see neighbors helping neighbors and people exploiting others suffering for profit. That is definitely the reality. The brutal and the beautiful. Crazy times.
