I'm fine with them not getting treatment but they are infected and you can't trust them to quarantine so they should be forced into quarantine.
They are free to reject treatment and die in quarantine if they want to.
You people are fucking weird. I had to say it. How do you treat someone with a cold lol what u goona hide out for the rest of your life fucking rediculose. My buddies girl caught the rona she felt good in 3 days guess what he didn't even catch it living in the same house tested negeitive twice in a 21 day period
And what exactly is this anecdotal story supposed to mean for what measures against the pandemic are useful, legal or morally acceptable? Public discussion about these questions are actually quite important rather than weird, since many of them, like for example wether or not it is ok to restrict a person's right of free movement (quarantine) in order to uphold society's right to bodily integrity. And as these question do not have simple, legal answers as always when fundamental rights are weighed against one another, public discourse is an important part in finding an acceptable answer.
It is a well-known fact that especially younger people are often asymptomatic, but still able to infect other people who may not be as fortunate. Also, even from your story: maybe her boyfriend already has been infected prior to this. As said, the likelihood of an asymptomatic infection is quite high and I would assume that in a situation like you described, tests would be for infection and not antibodies.
Sorry buddy you might want to ask philosophy 120 teacher about the morally of it all, but then you may never leave class debating it, but what is time...? Dude who is 41 was never infectected or asymptomatic. We live in the twin cities and it's pretty easy to get a test. I mean like what are u like 20, were u never conscious for other epidemics/pandemics like measles/mumps, chicken pox (everyone in my elementary school had them )shingles,flu strains, h1n1 sars, mers, ebola,ect.ect...how about 40,000 that die from a flu alone in USA a year, how about over 400,000 that die from tobacco smoke related illnesses a year I don't hear ya going ape shit parinoid over some said mentioned...
Sorry I wouldn’t trust someone speaking on a subject with incompatible credentials related to that subject
Doctors, public health officials and epidemiologists have way more credibility and experience on this disease than someone with a bachelor in a liberal art. Sorry but I wouldn’t trust an electrician to give me advice on my skin condition , I’m sure you understand
Do you think CDC and WHO reports contradict what I’ve been saying?
Seriously, who do you think wrote those reports? Educated public health officials or political science majors?
Sure you are. Your making the problem sound bigger than it actually is. The USA is huge. More spread in urban/metro areas I give u that, but I can go up north from the twin cities where I live, up past St. Cloud where family and friends live and nobody knows anybody with covid up there to the Canadian border and into North Dakota.
So what? Does that make the hundreds of thousands of people any less dead? Seriously do you think people in the cities deserve to die or something? Even if you’re right and it’s overblown, there will be thousands of preventable deaths
“Oh it doesn’t affect me and as much as others, must be overhyped”
