So some college age guy comes in my office last night to report his wallet lost. As soon as he comes in he starts with the dry cough. I asked him if he was sick, does he have COVID? He laughs and says no, it's just a dry cough. I asked him if he has been tested and again he giggles and says no. I like to treat people kindly, but sometimes harsh words are necessary when extreme selfishness and thoughtless behavior is evident. I told him he needs to self isolate because a dry cough is one of the top symptoms of COVID and people like him are the reason the virus is spreading. I hope my words had an effect on him.
Yes, there's a glass partition between me and the public, but the fact he was stupid enough to think he's not part of the problem despite having the COVID talk hammered into us for the last 6 weeks really makes me wonder about peoples intelligence.
