Family of Missouri's first coronavirus patient broke self quarantine, St. Louis County officials say
St. Louis Today ^

Posted on 03/08/2020 8:40:02 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School will close Monday after administrators learned that a St. Louis County woman infected with the coronavirus is the older sister of a Villa Duchesne student.

Moreover, a message from the schools to parents, circulating on social media, warns that the father and sister of the infected patient attended a school father-daughter dance Saturday night at the Ritz-Carlton in Clayton. They also apparently attended a pre-dance gathering at the house of a Villa student.

St. Louis County Executive Sam Page said Sunday that the patient’s family had been told on Thursday to self quarantine at their home in Ladue. Page said the patient’s father had not followed health department instructions. Page spoke at a news conference Sunday evening.

County health officials told the man on Sunday, Page said, “that he must remain in his home or they will issue a formal quarantine that will require him and the rest of his family to stay in their home by the force of law.”

So if someone gets sick and dies will they be help responsible?

Violating quarantine should be considered attempted 1st degree murder.

Where are the leaks when you need them?

The people at that party have to know who the assholes were...

I think lawyers could fix this.

A lot of lawyers.

Of the people at that party.

I think the guilty party (the father) should have to pay to have the school cleaned and any other ‘inconvenience’ suffered by those in quarantine now.

Hit them in the wallet.

Our POTUS needs to issue an EO overriding HIPPA to identify confirmed cases of CORONA-19 or PC and HIPPA will literally be the death of us...and U.S.

"So if someone gets sick and dies will they be help responsible?"

To the same extent that some LBQXBLT spreading AIDS is.

Breaking Bad—”no half measures”.

There should be no such thing as “voluntary quarantine” imho.

And the people at the preparty and the dance?

Dude should have to pay to have the other house deep cleaned, anyone elses car/home and the dance venue as well.

And be legally liable for anyone’s hospital bill.

Self quarantine is not going to work. The government will have to go full China if they want to contain it in any way.
