I do not intend to become infected so I have not planned on what I would do as far as giving notice to anyone else. I see no reason to announce that one is infected unless they intend on being in contact with others. If one is social distancing, wearing protective gear, etc, even if infected there is little chance of spreading it to others if you are staying away from them and them from you. I guess if you are looking for sympathy or attention, you can send out flyers and emails announcing to the world that lil' ole you are infected. One doesn't know how they will react to a situation until it happens to them.

amazing 12 months ago we knew little or nothing about covid 19
12 months later we've become experts

Unless the neighbor is taken away in an ambulance and hospitalized and someone has to go in and care for the left behind pets or spouse. Does it really matter if we know or not? Wearing the mask ,social distancing and washing hands is still priority for Flu and Covid to be decreased. Now if I wanted to keep everyone away a scarlet letter C will work.. Although I prefer Purple.. Merry Christmas.

Shows the ignorance of some people. The one who had it is probably the only person in the neighborhood that can't infect others because of immunity. I had it. Told my neighbors after quarantine. For about a month, those already not healthy stayed away, then they came back to normal. I would tell them. The ignorant ones may back off. Which is fine. The educated ones will rub shoulders because you can't give them Covid.

Put a sign out front? You’re kidding, right??

Several of our neighbors have completely excluded this lady and have secretly relayed to me that they will not ever socialize with this lady again until they have been vaccinated.

My neighbor has been unjustly treated like a "walking disease" although he has been medically cleared and advised by her physician that currently she will not be subjected to getting nor passing-on COVID for at least the next 90 days. I just wonder how many other Villages residents that are asymptomatic and have tested positive for COVID will not advise their neighbors in order not to become ostracized like my neighbor.

So I ask, if you test positive for COVID, will you tell anyone????
All of our neighbors are as considerate as your friend. Not one is as ignorant as the rest of your neighbors. I guess we are lucky.

The ignorance of understanding that the neighbor is now safer to be around than anyone is predictable.

All of our neighbors were upfront about it. Everyone treated them well.

All you folks who will not tell are the reason it is spreading so fast. I personally think that is very selfish on your part. Wouldn’t you want to know to help protect yourself? I would tell everyone in my Village and anyone else I thought I might have made contact with. That is the only honorable thing to do.

First of all yes I would let everyone I know that I had Covid, that would be a terrible thing not to tell my neighbors. To me that would make me as bad as Hitler. When people see her outside with her dog I hope everyone is THANKING HER for letting them know. Thank you whoever you are, you just showed us how concerned you are about other people!

It amazes me that HIPPA laws went out the window with COVID. You can’t be told about your parents or adult children’s conditions without prior consent but heck now they can trace you and even post it on the internet or TV that you have COVID!

Would you tell neighbors if you are an alcoholic or drug addicted to pain killers, esp. if you own guns? Don't you think your neighbors should know you are a threat to your community every time you drive your car? People get "outed" by nosy neighbors. What happened to HIPPA law protections?

Unfortunately, in this situation, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't!!

I would definitely tell all of those who I may have even remotely come into contact with, but can't see just broadcasting it to everyone. Unlike so many of my friends on Facebook who feel they have to share even the most intimate (and usually embarrassing) facets of their personal life, I'm mostly a fairly private person.

This virus is a symptom of other attitudes that are prevalent here. Conform criticize and comply in every aspect of living here. Instead of being adults that are happy content it’s closed minded petty and cruel. This is the biggest reason I’m praying that in 2021 I can sell and inspire me to be a better person in a different part of the country.
