Time for a serious talk about the future of your marriage. Perhaps if he agreed to sanitize the kitchen every time he "forgets," it would jog his memory.

If he declines, a discussion on whether he is trying to infect you would be in order.

I am so mad. We have a big tub in "my" bathroom, and when he returned I said he could use it (normally his bath too non quarantine), and he said he would spray down all the surfaces with bleach cleaner when he was done. Well, he didn't. Said he asked me once where the cleaner is so it's on me. I had assumed he did it and used the tub. This is the same man I have to remind multiple times for almost everything.

I don't know what his trip is right now, but I am not speaking to him, and I am just keeping away from him in part because I am mad, and in part to be safe.

This is the same guy who the night before was almost in tears because he was scared of infecting me. He had a friend whose wife died from SARs.

On the positive side, he is not sick. Just out with thousands of people, staying in a trailer with friends, and eating food cooked by a large range of people.

I have already said if this DR tests positive and my family gets it I will be on the NEWS calling this DR out for his irresponsible, reckless behavior. What a loser.
Exactly! Total loser! Doctor or not!

If the Federal Government is into buying votes, why not an Andrew Young type Freedom Dividend, $x for everyone for x time. It’s a simple giveaway - no BS.
Just read an article about China doing that for the people. It was either linked earlier, or it was one of those instances where I followed a linked article from this thread and got caught up reading multiple articles from the site. Pretty sure it was The Daily Mail.

But you’re correct, the former does nothing for independent contractors. And there are a lot of independent contractors in this country.

That is all I have to know. They are human, not God. we have to protect ourselves and start using common sense. When a person started coughing, I think we need to stay away from them (doctors or not).
Agree. Doctors can drift into denial the same as everyone else.
Besides, they feel needed at their jobs .....

There has to be an agenda or incentive to the media giant owners, to desperately push this so hard, every single hour of every single day. It's definitely not standard journalism. The reporters and media employees are taking marching orders for sure.

Maybe a vaccine will generate some company billions and those that control things on this planet want a piece of that.
They have and it's really a bit much. It ends up working the other way and people tune it out or turn it off, not listening to maybe stuff they should, which I understand though.

Those of us who will deal with it later on are in a "whole heap o' trouble". There may not be room to admit us.

Telling the truth would be helpful. So far he has done nothing but lie about CV.

No President has ever stopped the flu.
Trump will not stop Coronavirus.
NeverTrumpers will pile on, but they have no one to run against Trump.
Trump wins in 2020.

Where is "Option 3: Trump steps back and let the experts take the lead in messaging instead of tweeting comparisons to the seasonal flu and lying to people about the availability of tests"?
