I understand the young man’s joy at being alive and it’s a good thing that he’s regaining his fine motor skill control, but he still has to answer the question of why he felt it was permissable to lie about his activities violating quarantine until confronted with evidence otherwise? Credibility in a doctor, trustworthyness, is of paramount importance to the public and dear doctor seems to have violated that trust.
There is no actual evidence that he lied about his activities, just an anonymously sourced article in the NY Post. The report has not been corroborated, and has been disputed by the NY health authorities.
