I have a friend who is showing a clear carrier symptom for COVID-19, but he insist on still going to work. What should I do to convince him otherwise?

Tell him that he is being ignorant or irresponsible. No in between.

Report him to local health authorities and call the cops.

Agree. This is not the time to play nice. Imagine how many he might have given the virus to.

A friend and I confronted him about it yesterday in a loving way, and he flat out told us that us confronting him makes him want to do it (go to work with symptoms) even more. What do I do? I’m considering just breaking off the friendship if that is his real character.

You're better off without such "friends". Also report his ass.

Call his work place and give them a heads up. Do it for them and for your friend.

Sounds like he is scared and dealing with it through denial. Don't know that there's much you can do, tbh. You can express to that you feel obligated to share your concerns with your lead. It's public health, unfortunately not only his choice at this point.

Is your friend working at an essential job? Are you in a place that has issued “stand in place” orders?

Works at a financial institution. We just had a stay at home order go into effect yesterday. His workplace does have passes.

What are the symptoms you noticed?

Sudden loss of smell and taste. He just got back from Europe a week and a half before getting the symptom

Need advice. Am in the middle of parental leave right now and my spouse and I are on the brink of divorce. Have only this 1 kid. Spouse doesn’t work yet, but can with earning potential around $50k. I make around $450k. No way I’d keep this job if divorce happens. I’d eventually transition in house so I can take care of my kid when I have him, but that won’t be immediate. How will custody work in that case? I want joint, but how do I take care of him alone with this job in the meantime?
