The New York Post<\/a> posted an article today about a Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center staffer who recently returned from Italy and was asked to self-isolate until the results of his coronavirus test came back. Unfortunately he chose not to listen.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

New Hampshire\u2019s first coronavirus patient shrugged off his quarantine<\/a> and went to an event in a different state \u2014 potentially exposing almost 200 people to the deadly illness, officials revealed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dimwit Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center staffer showed symptoms of the virus after returning from a trip to Italy<\/a>, and was told to stay home while awaiting test results \u2014 which came back positive Monday, state health officials said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But three days earlier, he had ignored the instructions and gone to a party over the border in Vermont, officials said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite having been directed to self-isolate, [he] attended an invitation-only private event on Friday,\u201d the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 175 people were at the bash, organized by Dartmouth\u2019s Tuck School of Business and held at The Engine Room in White River Junction, right across the river from the New Hampshire hospital.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very disturbing to be honest,\u201d Brandon Fox, the owner and manager of The Engine Room told The Post. \u201cHe made a really bad decision.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If anyone who attended that event contracts the virus and dies, can he be charged with involuntary manslaughter? I don’t think that should be out of the question.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

But the patient is believed to have already infected at least one other man \u2014 also a Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center employee, officials said. The hospital said both men had no contact with patients.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An order of isolation has now been issued to the egocentric first patient under a state public health law to make sure he doesn\u2019t break the quarantine again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If he leaves the lockdown now, officials will be able to send police after him to keep him put.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But New Hampshire health officials didn\u2019t respond to questions about if or how they were monitoring his self-quarantine this time around.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Fox\u2019s event space has been sanitized \u2014 twice \u2014 and health officials said events could continue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only did this man put other people at risk, he negatively impacted a business. There are consequences to bad behavior. He worked at a medical center, you would think that he would have had some respect for the damage basic germs can do.<\/p>\n
