When it first popped off I contemplated if I got it if I'd tell anyone. I saw numerous interviews of people who said they told everyone that they got quarantined or had to go to the hospitol and friends blocked them and they got death threats from strangers. WTF the matter with people?
Because of the way public policy has been shaped, people assume anyone that gets sick has been negligent in following the guidance. It is a stigmatized disease now, like getting AIDS in the 80s (or even still?).
