Isn’t this criminal negligence?
Being told by a medical professional to quarantine and wantonly ignoring it is a lot like your mechanic telling you not to drive a car and you doing it anyway.
I don’t see why the family shouldn’t be held to account for every single infection they started by sending their kid to day care.
Except who will arrest them? The cops won't enforce mask or quarantine mandates. COVID fucked all that up.
Just say that the kid had a mental breakdown. The cops will come in pronto and shoot the dog.
They'll bring about 10 to 20 more people if you say he has marijuana or mushrooms too!
Covid didn't fuck it up. Stupid conservatives did that.
If the government truly wants to enforce a quarantine, they can. Remember when the Ebola scare was a thing? I know someone who was caught up in that; They were required to do thrice daily temperature checks, and the CDC would randomly call a landline they set up, around ten times a day. On those calls, they had to report any potential symptoms for every single person in the household. The CDC made it very clear that if they didn’t answer the phone, the feds were coming inside with hazmat gear to verify they hadn’t snuck out. It was basically house arrest without the ankle monitors.
They had to have a very awkward conversation with their boss about it, because they were working as a lowly retail worker at the time. It was basically “hey uhh… You’ve seen the Ebola stuff in the news right? Yeah, I won’t be able to come in for a little while, because the feds say I’ll be arrested if I leave my house.”
Its tempting to rail against these parents but for the daycare part specifically let us not forget that people in America don't get free healthcare, and we dont get paid sick days. You take your kid to daycare not because you fucking want to, your American boss doesn't give a shit about your problems, he needs you in right now or you're looking for another way to feed your kids
True, but in this specific case,
This parent strongly deserves a good railing against.
...fuck that is pretty hard to defend
I’d imagine a lot of that goes out the window when you’re threatening the lives of children…
HIPPA has some exceptions with regards to issues of public health, including one that explicitly requires the disclosure of non-personal details regarding communicable disease exposure that threatens the public at large.
That’s a good point, I haven’t worked a jobs like that for a long time. It is easy to overlook.
