This is nuts.
An American infectious disease 'expert' got sick and tested negative for COVID ... but decided that wasn't good enough so he ran all over trying to get more rapid tests, quite possibly infecting a bunch of people wherever he went.
People used to get sick, rest, if that didn't work they'd see the doctor, and move on.
But since COVID, some people have clearly lost the ability to just be normal about any of it.

It's sheer insanity that instead of staying home and getting over a cold he went out in public spreading his germs at multiple pharmacies, all because he was anxious to "name" his cold with a test. Great point about these attitudes being published.

Nailed it.
And yes, it's sheer insanity.
