If you are having a party, simply gently remind your would-be guests: If you don’t feel well, do not come
Photo: Scott Robin Barbour/Getty Images If you have flu-like symptoms and someone tells you to stay home, please: Don’t go to that party. Even if it’s the most exciting night of your week, even if you wanted to catch up with a friend or get someone’s number or partake in a rousing game of darts. Do not attend. This is — it should go without saying — especially true if you suspect you have coronavirus.
This public safety announcement comes in the wake of reports about a male medical worker at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, back from a recent trip to Italy, who went to the hospital on Friday because he had a fever. The staff who checked him out did not test for COVID-19 at the time, but advised him to self-quarantine while they ruled out other flu and cold viruses over the weekend.
In addition to questions about what in the world could have so important about the party that this feverish man attended it, the situation at Dartmouth brings up a very real issue in treating coronavirus. Before a person is officially diagnosed — when they typically receive a formal isolation order from their state government — enforcing quarantine is largely left to the honor system.
. And if you are going to a party, ask yourself: Do I have a fever? Am I coughing? Did I go to Italy? And do the smart thing. Stay in and watch Contagion.
