My sister and bro-in-law are morons [View all]

[rustysgurl]

I just heard from my sister, who is traveling with her husband on family business in another state. They started their trip uneventfully and are on their way back home. Sadly, my bro-in-law became sick and is getting worse. Bad cough, fever and screaming headache that won't respond to meds. Yep, in all likelihood COVID. Neither is vaccinated, despite my sister being a super-intelligent healthcare worker who knows how viruses and vaccines work. They are unrepentant evangelical conservatives and supported Trump even in the 2nd election.

Today I receive what would normally be a wonderful photo of my sister at a popular tourist attraction. The picture was taken by said very sick husband and it shows people walking around them. When I spoke with her I asked why they were at a tourist attraction when he was sick, she responded, "Well, we wore our masks." They had planned to spend the night with a friend but decided when the husband got sick that they would go to a hotel instead. My sister said, "I guess we'll take the chance of giving it to hotel staff rather than our friends." I was dumbfounded. How can anyone be so thoughtless?

So, they have checked into the hotel and my sister has asked her husband repeatedly if he wants to go to urgent care. Apparently he has refused and she told him that if he got much sicker it wouldn't be his choice. How heroic of her. That they can be so passive about this shocks me to no end.

That's all. I hope he doesn't have COVID. I hope he gets tested. And I hope by the grace of whatever that they manage to not kill anyone in their idiocy.

And this is how it spreads.
