NH's 1st Coronavirus Patient, Told to Stay Isolated, Went to Event Instead
2020-03-04
[NBC Philadelphia] New Hampshire's first coronavirus patient, a hospital employee, went to an event tied to Dartmouth business school on Friday despite being told to stay isolated, officials say, and all others who went to the event are now being told to stay isolated.

State health officials said that the first coronavirus patient "attended an invitation-only private event on Friday" despite being told to stay isolated. That person has now been ordered to remain isolated and all others who came into "close contact" with them at the event were asked to stay isolated for 14 days.
She had travelled to Italy. Her status being announced on national media, she was well aware, so this is terminal stupidity or worse. Sue her pants off. She's made some real friends at Tuck, who now have to suspend their studies and their lives for 14 days. And I'm doubting that 14 days is actually long enough for this disease.

#5  There's some next-level stupid for you. Probably not qualified to work in a medical setting. Unless she's a neurologist, of course.

#4  If no one dies after exposure, can we call it the flu?

#2  ^ If anybody expires from COVID-19 transmitted by this unthinking selfish POS, she should be tried for manslaughter

#1  Live free or die is a fine motto when the only person you are risking is yourself.

She was at OUR hospital. Luckily neither the wife nor I have been scheduled up there recently.
