One of two new Kentucky coronavirus cases refused to self-isolate. He’s being forced.

The patient from Nelson County is a 53-year-old man who tested positive at the University of Louisville, then left against medical advice, Beshear said. The Lincoln Trail District Health Department asked him to self-quarantine, but he refused.

You can’t just macho out a pandemic, for fucksake. It doesn’t go away if you Show No Fear. You can’t brazen it out or stare it down or stand strong and defy it by going about your business as normal. I know you’re scared, and macho reflexes are a defence mechanism, but please.

Seriously. This. Acting tough does not mean anything at all to this virus. The way that some are shrugging of the seriousness of this, that they will not let a pesky virus 'beat' them is such a load of dangerous bollocks. This virus will not turn and run cause some wanker is talking tough while acting like a complete tool... idiots.

1. Worse, machoism endangers others. Does he have a 73 year old father / mother? . . . nt

2. As usual, everything needs to be politicized

Up until this weekend what was implied by GOP "leaders":

Hunkered down = hysterical, scared Democrats; harming Trump and the economy (in truth, stopping the spread)

Going on with life = strong, brave Republicans; supporting Trump and the economy (in truth, multiplying the spread)

The governors of Oklahoma and South Carolina look like fools this morning after spouting nonsense about going out and later turning around and decalring states of emergency. Talk about confusing messages to the public that makes poeple tune out!
