I swear, people are freaking stupid. CV19 related

I have an in house respiratory therapist who I make listen to my lungs. They've cleared up in the last couple of days. I figure he knows when there is an isssue.

We also have some cough syrup with codeine to help me sleep and I take musinex d or other cough syrup during the day.

Congrats on your son buying a home. I hope it all can be finalized soon.

I'm pissed. My mom went shopping this morning during the senior hours. She's immuno-compromised. Her friend saw her at the store, grabbed her from behind, spun her around and kissed all over her face. They don't even usually greet this way. My mom said, "so much for social distancing." The friend says, "oh I don't care about that!"  GRRRRRR. Well, my mom DOES! I wish I would have been there to say something!

Thank you for the kind words, Gravity and maryland. I am sending good thoughts for your girls, too!

That’s so bizarre that I’d be questioning her motives.

That sounds like assault to me!  Especially with what is going on makes it worse.  I'm so sorry, and I hope your mom is okay.  Her "friend" aka assaulter is why this keeps spreading to others.  You really see the stupidity in the world these days. 

I have two examples of poor judgment:

I live in a planned community. The houses are detached with very small yards. I saw my neighbor walking around the common roadway and overheard her talking on the phone about how she is sure that she and her two young daughters have the virus but can't get tested. Then I saw her daughters in their pajamas riding their scooters around the complex where other children were playing.

Our cafeteria at work has modified their service to protect us from the virus where you put in your order on a paper form and then hand it to the cashier. The cashier, who handles money but doesn't wear gloves, then goes and retreives the food for you. I was horified when I saw her pick up the empty soup containers and lids and hand them to the cook (who did wear gloves) to fill them.

I work in a GPs' practice. In one surgery we've put tape on the floors and have used the chairs to arrange barricades to keep people 2 metre from the counter. On Wednesday we tried about 4 different configurations. They have been walking around the chairs, leaning over them, pulling them out and sitting on them, letting their kids climb on them, dumping their bags on them. Seriously people, why do you think they are there, for decoration?

In the other surgery where I work, there is a fluorescent yellow 8.5 x 11" sign in a plastic stand asking people to stand back and not lean on the counter for their protection. Every last person has leaned through the hatch. I started just giving them a big smile and pushing the sign under their noses.

Our paramedic developed a fever of 102 after working in our little office (with me) all morning. {sigh} Of course it could be anything, not necessarily COVID-19. She won't be tested so I doubt we'll know. She's self-isolating and we're worried. We now have 3 in the office down, 6 working from home, and not many left...
