Seriously. But it's human nature to care about yourself more than other people.

I don't think this girl and her boyfriend are terrible people for wanting to spend time together, we are all like that as human beings.

But in the context of what's going on right now, part of being an adult is looking beyond yourself and doing what is best for you *AND* everyone around you.

That girl sounds annoying. Let her move out.

She might be annoying, but she's not wrong on this.

you could say that about the roommate too

Absolutely. And you, and me, and everyone else on Planet Earth. So the next

It’s a value judgement and you can’t claim one is right and one is wrong.

Are you and your wife social distancing?

pink22

3/29/20 11:44am

EXTREME social distancing. In fact, I probably have never seen her in person yet

Wait, what? Are you serious...I know my TIC meter is off, so I need to ask.

IF your daughter wants to take over the rent, allow her to leave.

This at BYU?

No. A city in California

I'm in SF, 16 days shut in. Let's not draw this out longer than necessary.

Can see both sides but if you’re a roommate than my take is

cougfanz

3/29/20 11:27am

The situation needs clarifying. Where are they, and what are their jobs?

ReyOso

3/29/20 11:21am

San Francisco. They all have professional jobs and are working at home

run26

3/29/20 11:24am

So if they are all WFH, then why is that girl even concerned? Man, people

byuguns55

3/29/20 11:29am

All working at home limits the risk significantly. Still, it's a violation.

Just ignore the roommate. Shes insane.

The good news is that people who don’t have it can’t spread it.

3/29/20 11:41am

Agreed. The bad news is people can have it and not know it.

Game Changer

3/29/20 11:44am

All it takes is 1 out of the 8 to break or bend their distancing

If both sides have the same quarantine rules

Blue Ghost

Why doesn't she just leave the house when she wants?

My daughter is trying to be transparent and ethical

run26

3/29/20 1:10pm

It's not unethical to not say where you're going

donnerstag

3/29/20 1:14pm

Because we're in a plague, and the city and state have asked us not to.

ReyOso

3/29/20 1:13pm

No. There's a "Stay at Home" order

I feel bad for your roommates.

I feel bad for people with your mindset

Unethical and possibly illegal at the same time.

ReyOso

"Plague". You act like this is the black death

Backcountry

Dead is dead, no matter what caused it.

Risk factors are dramatically different between the plague and CV-19

donnerstag

3/29/20 2:39pm

I didn't say "THE" plague, I said "a" plague, as in an infectious pandemic.

Sounds like Roommate “X” does not have a boyfriend.

Is the roommate over the age of 60? Does the roommate have a boyfriend too?

ManicBlue

her mom is a nurse. so that plays into it. i didn't want to mention that ...

run26

3/29/20 2:55pm

Mom could also be overly influenced based on the extreme cases she's seeing too.
