"I'm not worried about the virus"
-
D2 has a friend who has a friend.
Friend #2 works as a secretary (I think) at a convent in the Milwaukee area.
On the day after Thanksgiving, she started to have some symptoms that are COVID-like. That was Nov 27. She did test positive, on 12/4 but was reluctant to quarantine. And she did go to work between the onset of symptoms and the positive test, maskless.
"Eight sisters living at the Notre Dame of Elm Grove have died of COVID-19 since Dec. 9, according to a statement from the School Sisters of Notre Dame Central Pacific Province.
The statement also said there are other confirmed cases among the 88 sisters living at the facility at 13105 Watertown Plank Road.
"All CDC guidelines are being followed regarding the care of sisters affected by COVID-19 and to avoid spread of the virus, including wearing masks, social distancing and handwashing," the statement said.
The statement said they do not plan on releasing any more information about the confirmed cases. "
She has said that she’s “not worried” about the virus.

Criminal.
Yeah, at certain point this does go beyond frustrating. They've gone this long without catching it, and are so fukken close to the solution...
But again, I wonder if D2's friend of a friend is similar to my (former) step-sister. Online every day clearly more concerned about the vaccine, than the virus itself... And just in time for X-mas, her whole family tests positive. The two young kids cough and fever, her and her husband more cough, and higher fever. sigh

Wait unti the civil suits start getting filed. Gonna be a lawyer's heyday.
I thought about that. Apparently, after you test positive, your employer is notified. But, that didn't happen until 12/4, and I think that she says she quarantined after that. The first nun died on 12/9. AFAIK, there's no evidence (other than messages she sent to friends) that she was symptomatic before her tests.
It's going to be a tough case to prove, despite the common sense.

I was speaking in a more general manner. This just made think to post it. There are plenty of strong cases out there to chase. I agree this one wouldn't be so easy, but there will be boodles of others.

I think there's plenty of young people who don't behave like this.
And there are a lot of old people who ignore the rules, too.
When my mum died in May, my brother went to tell her older sister, who is 92. He'd just spent an hour in a nursing home talking to paramedics and a doctor, but this didn't stop my beloved Auntie Brenda inviting him in for tea not once but three times.

I do indeed. She's awesome. A lesson to everybody in how to live in old age. She's stayed active right past her 90th year, going on cruises, attending church, being involved with local societies, although sadly in the last year she's started losing her memory, and can't really go out any more. She's the last of three sisters.

Of course she is! I've met several Brendas, and they are all wonderful. I'm only a tolerable Brenda. Can you imagine how awful I would be had I not been named Brenda? LOL
