Yesterday, a woman that lived in part of the city that was under total quarantine, went with some relatives to a supermarket and then to a medical center. She had the COVID-19 and she was part of what I would call here educated upper middle class.
Why do I label her that way? Because she is a medical doctor.
I would let her rot in jail! It can´t be said that she is unaware or that she doesn´t know. I´d punish her as I would punish murderers.
Everywhere in the world people are getting ill and dying because of people such as this woman. Will something be done? Or will her status be enough so that she is fined and told her "not to do it again, please!"
SHAME! What do you think about this? I´m sure that this is not the only case.

It is worse when stupidity goes hand by hand with power or money.

@marguicha I see just as much stupidity by regular people who are not rich and should know better.

If she was a medical doctor she should know better then to go out and spread it to others and get them infected.I think she needs to be punished. I do not get why people are not taking this seriously. People are getting very sick and those that are dying.

She should go to jail. Solitary confinement. No fines as she surely has enough money.

Sixty doctors who were on a ship at a conference (we would call that a junket) dodged authorities when the ship docked and went back to their practices. They think they are virus-free but they have no way of knowing that. Talk about arrogance!

Stupid people don´t understand. And neither do people who think that they are above others. But this is when I accept a sort of martial law. Not that they should be killed, but they should be put in jail. And a big special jail only for them.

She is not the only case. We have a senator here infected with the virus but exposed himself to many people by going to supermarket and to the hospital to accompany her pregnant wife who will give birth.

Good doctors should not be put in the same place as bad doctors. There are good and bad people in all professions and trades.

It's really a crime to do that, to expose other people to danger; here we have a senator who did that!

This type of stupidity could be fatal. I think it's more of recklessness and carelessness given her status.

It should be a crime to expose others to the virus.

It IS a crime! If you are not aware of it, it could be a minor crime. But if you are a medical doctor it is surely a mayor one.

Here, a Senator who was tagged as PUI went to work and accompanied his wife to give birth in a known hospital. Last week his test result came out positive. Thus he has exposed his staff and colleagues and a lot of medical staff in that hospital to the virus.
And all he did was apologize.

It must be admitted that there's still a huge difference in how you think about COVID-19, thought most people are alert enough to the infectivity of the virus, like you. I believe she didnt mean to spread the virus,because foremost among these victims of her conduct are the relatives with her as you described. I think what shock you may be the striking contrast between her backgrounds(M. D.)and her attitude toward the disease. But if we change a angle to think,sometimes specialized knowledge or skills lead to overconfidence and misjudgement. Just as a Chinese proverb said, the one who drowns is the one who is good at swimming(?????????).
One of my doubts is that what kind of “total quarantine” permits an infected person to roam around.
Finally I want to say I completely agree with @TheSojourner. Stupidity does not skip certain generations, vocations, economic or class structures.

There is no way of having a cop or militar per citizen to check them. So, if the authority says we must stay at home, so be it. There is no different way to understand an order.

Does she doesn't know the quarantine protocol? It should be Imposed and applied to herself.
She's a shame on his own and professions
