A 23-year-old man’s mother did not believe in self-isolation and demanded her covid positive son to leave home to run errands and he seeks help.
Here is his plead:
My mother is the kind of tiger mom who wants everyone to do what she wants. She thinks covid is not a serious thing and self-isolation is a joke. Now that I’m positive, I’m sure she’s still going to make me run errands etc. What should I do if that happens? I guess I can stand my ground but that means she’s going to become crazy mad and my week will be ruined… should I report her or something……. I honestly fear the day she gets covid because good luck to y’all sgreans
I think using the legal mandate to pressure her would be the best. also sorry if I offended anyone w the way I type…. I’m just memey af x
Here are what netizens think:
- if you’re covid positive book a supervised art test at a test centre. then by law moh will issue you an isolation order.
- Please stand your ground! This does not just affect ur household, but will also affect others too! By going out when you are positive, you may potentially infect others, who may not be lucky enough to be young and healthy as you. Please stay firm, I know she is your mother and it may not be easy to defy her, but you are already an adult. You probably need to tell her that she should respect your decision, and also it is illegal…
- Were you registered as positive? If you are, tell her that it’s illegal and you can go to jail for it. If you aren’t registered, maybe go see a doctor to get registered.
