In reply to the discussion: A Beloved Bar Owner Was Skeptical About the Virus. Then He Took a Cruise. NYT [View all]RedSpartan
(1,693 posts)51. The end of the article says it all.
When her father began to feel sick, he resisted getting tested. He didnt think that he could have it, Kristen said, because he wasnt 100 percent confident that it was a thing.
Seven days before he was admitted to the hospital, Joe and Kristen had an argument about the emerging public health crisis, which Kristen described as the only dispute she ever had with her father that she wished she hadnt won. He said, Dont you think this is fishy? Do you know anyone who has it? Do you know anyone who has died from it? And I said, Dad, I dont know anyone now, but give me a week and I bet I will.
