Meanwhile, in the UK...
[/spoiler]
Apparently he recovered from it after spending 4 days in hospital, and is now doubling down on his anti-vaxx stance.
There's many more (too many) out there like him, unfortunately. My boss being of the same anti-vaxxing ilk, managed to catch the virus a few weeks ago. He actually lives at our place of work which obviously made the situation difficult for us staff.
He did contact everyone of us, telling us he'd tested positive as soon as he found out, and that we should stay away from work for a while. However, because the business is struggling quite bad and being in the situation of if we turn down work, jobs will have to go, he ended up persuading us to still come in, after us taking a few days off.
I agreed to return to work providing he continues to self isolate in his room, which luckily for us (me and my co-workers), he did, he literally didn't move from his room upstairs, and had to piss and ***t in a bucket for over 10 days, as the only toilet on the premises is used by all staff. I'm really glad he stuck to his word, but if he hadn't there'd be zero chance of me returning to work (despite myself already having been given both Pfizer vaccine jabs).
He's recovered now and has tested negative, which is good. ....But what really gets my goat is the entire time he was ill from it, he'd message me telling me that it's 'no big deal, just a mild flu'. And he kept on sending me YT links of anti-vaxx scaremongering and false information vids. The irony is while he was ill, he was also sending me messages saying how he couldn't sleep properly because of breathing difficulties, (along with general flu like) symptoms, yet was playing it off like it's no big deal. He is fairly fit and leads a fairly healthy lifestyle, so personally i'd say he's lucky to have survived it okay, because i imagine many others wouldn't fair so well.
[EDIT]
I'd just like to say thank you to GTP, all the staff and a good majority of all the members. As this seems to be the most rational place of discussion and information about the pandemic.
I only wish a good majority of people i know personally (including some family members), wouldn't fall hook line and sinker for all the anti-vaxx crappola out there.
