That's not hubris. Inconsiderate at worst.

Hubris is the characteristic of excessive confidence or arrogance, which leads a person to believe that they may do no wrong. The overwhelming pride caused by hubris is often considered a flaw in character.

i feel like my dad was being arrogant. i act liek this too but not with sickness these days.

I'm finding it hard to buy into the Hubris bit. The traditional use of hubris is in relation is excessive pride.
Definitely inconsiderate and maybe overbearing.

If your Dad was displaying excess pride, then hubris makes more sense.

Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/, from ancient Greek ὕβρις) describes a personality quality of extreme or foolish pride or dangerous overconfidence,[1] often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance.[2]

perhaps youre right

 

[Old Man Jingles]

perhaps you're right

That's your Opinion! LOL

Symptoms of what?

 

[rickyb]

Symptoms of what?

Corona symptoms are the same as allergies, or food poisoning. You think people should get tested every time they get hayfever or eat gas station sushi? I'm pretty sure you have to get an appointment to get tested now. Even doctors are starting to figure out it's not a big deal, maybe it's time you caught up.

it obviously was a big deal but it couldve been much worse. im sure you will be leading hte charge against preventing the next superbug?

see again youre being immature. how often do ppl get sick every year? maybe 1x or 2x? so whats teh big deal if you get tested, especially if youve never needed to get tested before but now were in a pandemic so it makes more sense to

So you consider a cold virus that causes pneumonia in a very small percent of, mostly eldery, already ill, people, and kills an even smaller percentage, a super bug? You think people should make an appointment to get tested every time they get sniffles, and shouldn't leave their homes until they get the results? You realize that will actually cause fewer people to seek treatment because people don't generally appreciate being forced into house arrest because of an almost entirely harmless "super bug". Your completely unnuanced understanding of covid and all the issues surrounding it reveal your immaturity. The issue isn't how many times people get sick, it's how often they develop symptoms that you think they should get tested for,

so when you have the cold you dont take sick days you go out and spread it?

im not the only one who thinks that about getting tested. if ur sick and you go out and spread it ill let you figure out what that makes you.

yea maybe i was wrong to describe it as a superbug.

Most people who catch a cold have such mild symptoms that it doesn't occur to them to stay home. They very rarely test for any common cold bugs, and almost never test for flu. Those viruses spread regardless of what we do. If you don't want to catch 'em, then you change your behavior, you don't demand that other people change theirs. My health and safety is not your responsibility, and vice versa.

 

[Babagounj]

Around here it costs $70 per test.

Yes.
Don't be such a P* Ricky.

youre delusional if you think your health and safety is only up to you. you are a product of your environment to some degree and your life is largely determined by forces bigger than you. and no those viruses dont spread if you arent near others.

 

[rickyb]

Yes.
Don't be such a P* Ricky.

i hope you arent such a pusillanimous that you dont use all your sick days every year

yes but so are other politicians you wasted a vote for

My health and safety is my responsibility. Stop trying to change the subject. Using other people's health and safety as a pretense to general behavior control is absolutely insane. It's no wonder why so many have accepted it without much thought.

And, yes, respiratory viruses can spread even if it were possible to stay away from others. You are more protected by the odds than by staying away from others.

you should fire whoever you get your pro big business / coronavirus theories from.

your health and safety is not only up to you because if i break the law and speed past you on the road, and put you at risk, then youre suddenly not responsible for your safety.

a restaraunt in texas is charging $50 extra for asking patrons to wear a mask, and $75 if you give your poor theories. i would collect first before giving any service.

the amount of excuses you make for not staying away from others is pathetic, like other illnesses with similar symptoms is especially poor logic. if u get food poisoning then fire the ppl you get cooking advice from, i dont remember teh last time i had it. if you have symptoms get tested and stay at home. its not rocket science. coronavirus only 3 cause of death since it came to america. when you go out like an you ruin ppl's ability to do the necessities like getting groceries or pumping gas without getting ill.

oh since you know so much how did nz and australia eliminate cases?
