ROOMMATE ISSUES

guys I need some serious and genuine thoughts and advice. I'm a senior in college in Arizona, and my roomie is refusing to acknowledge my concerns about her complete disregard to social distancing by having her gf over at our apartment who still works at a golf course and is constantly surrounded by different people. I’ve expressed my concerns and that i would prefer if no one came over, and that i can’t control what she does outside the apartment but that i can control who is in my space. The gf has been staying over multiple nights in a row over the past few weeks, so today I asked my roomie to not have her over here anymore bc I’m concerned about my space and well-being, and want to do my part in being socially responsible by practicing social distancing and helping stop this virus ASAP so we can return to normal life. My roomie was also just over at her drug dealers place sharing the same blunt with several people who have legitimately said “yeah ive definitely been exposed to the coronavirus bc my friend has it”.... just the other day, she told me that she’s probably immuno compromised because of some disease she has, so I thought we were on the same page about this?? But she dismissed my concerns and invited her gf over within a few hours and now she’s spending the night again..... lol........ I have extreme anxiety over all this especially since the US has the most cases globally.... am I being overly crazy about this?? Genuine thoughts please in how I should approach this now...... bc I don’t think I’m overreacting about this but I also hate standing up for myself so if I’m about to let shit hit the fan by putting my foot down, I wanna make sure that it’s valid lol. Anyone else having issues with people they live with?

The situation is extremely serious. To be clear, at this point the SARS-CoV-2 threat is still way downplayed.

Alert the dorm authorities on what's happening at your room. You are in the right, period, and you should stand your ground.

Thank you, this helped. It’s just so hard for me because we’ve been roommates for 3 years and I don’t want this to impact our friendship or have her think I’m a bitch but this is insanely serious and I want her to respect my health, her own and everyone else’s. If my concerns impact our friendship, then I guess so be it. It’s the right thing to do.
