My sister was driving a 3rd grade carpool. Another parent asks if she has room for her 5th grade son who is coming home early. She agrees to take him. The kid never showed up so she eventually leaves without him. Later she finds out the 5th grader had Covid symptoms and was being sent home until his test came back (which returned Positive!). Some people were not born with the common sense gene or something.
Not sure if non Lakewood stories are allowed in this thread.
1) a guy who does a car service on the side gets a request to take someone's father to the airport. He's been extremely careful and asked a couple times if he had any symptoms or was exposed and was assured not. A few days after the trip, the driver comes down with symptoms, tests positive and gets hit really hard. It's out of commission for two weeks, but recovers, B"H. The person who commissioned the ride tells him, by the way, how hard it was to get his father in a flight even though he had covid.
The driver demanded he receive payment for lost wages while he was sick, the guy refused, but agreed to have the case heard by a rov. The rov about lost his mind calling the guy a borderline rotzeach. He paid up.
2) someone who throws an annual party, but scaled it way down this year due to covid. 11 people at the party got covid, and all the party guests had to quarantine. Dozens of families were shut down, unable to go to work, etc, not to mention all the people that got sick.
Turns out someone came to the party after testing positive because, and this is a direct quote, "I didn't want to stifle my lifestyle."
