There are many single people who live across town from or in another town from their significant other. They have not seen each other in weeks because they are afraid of getting the virus from the other because anyone could theoretically pick up the virus anytime just from having to go out and grocery shop.
I personally do not subscribe to this view; I see my S.O.
But someone in this doctor’s position, having espoused the views he has, should not be in my “camp” but in the first camp I mentioned. And his paramour, knowing the views he has publicly expressed, should wonder why he thinks it is safe for them to get together.
There is certainly no end to the strangeness of this thing, that’s for sure.
I would think that a woman you’re shtupping has all the germs you do, and you’re just as “sheltered” in two apartments or one. It is expected that close relations would likely all get this as a group, I would have thought.
I also thought of the Diamond Princess as more of an experiment in incubation than any kind of a quarantine, though, so what do I know.
Of course, the marital infidelity isn’t even thought of as a motivation for retirement from public life anymore, either.
What a world!
