About a week ago, a family member drove a friend to a town two-hours away. They were in close quarters in the vehicle with the windows up and AC on. The friend snotted and snorted the entire time claiming it was allergies. When my family member dropped the friend off at his house, it was recommended the friend get tested for COVID to which the friend declined.
About five days later, on a Wednesday, my family member lost their sense of taste and smell. The family member waited until Saturday to get tested. After going through the Walgreens drive-thru for the test, the family member traveled with his wife to Ohio to look for a table lamp.
The test was positive for COVID. The health department immediately sent an email saying he needed to quarantine. He claims the email said 7 days, but from everything Kevin has read online, it’s actually supposed to be 10 days.
The very next day, this family member was shopping in Lowe’s. He then went to pick up curtains from a woman who had hemmed them for him. Since the curtains were not short enough, the seamstress went to his house to pick the curtains back up. The family member also visited his attorney’s office.
He is claiming his doctor told him he did not have to quarantine because he has probably had COVID for over 10 days and as long as he wears a mask and keep his distance, it is okay to be out.
I don’t believe this for one second.
Kevin looked at the guidelines and you are supposed to be quarantined for TEN days AFTER a positive test. He just had his positive test on September 11th. There’s no way a doctor told him it was okay to be out and about. He hasn’t had any other symptoms except for losing taste and smell and he does wear a mask when he’s in a store, but it doesn’t matter. I know he didn’t wear a mask when the seamstress visited and I know he won’t wear a mask when his maid comes to clean this week.
It makes me angry that he is spreading COVID all over Winchester and the surrounding areas. It’s totally selfish.
I didn’t say anything. The reason why is because I would go off. Once I got started, there would be no stopping my mouth. It would cause a major rift in our relationship.
And he could be right; he may have had COVID for ten days already, but the fact is, he is not following the guidelines.
What a very selfish man he is without any care or concern that he is the super spreader giving everyone he comes in contact with the possibility of intubation and death
He isn’t worth having a relationship with because he cares only about himself
In the interest of public health and protecting society someone should put a huge sign on his car and also front lawn of his house
“SUPER SPREADER STAY AWAY”
I agree. It’s very selfish.
I love that you would go off because it shows how much you care about the WELL BEING of everyone around you. I totally understand that sometimes we have to make a choice and refrain from doing so. During this pandemic, I’ve learned there is only so much that YOU can do to protect yourself and your family. Stay safe Tami Dunn family!
