@cbyrne1174 as someone who has a sister who is a doctor, our use of n95 and surgical masks is wise. Doctors and nurses each use two n95 masks daily and at least eight surgical masks daily. Because of how infectious COVID-19 is, they discard surgical masks every hour.
As for me, I’m using one n95 mask for months, as our my friends, family, and co-workers. If we have to commute to work, we use one surgical mask over the n95 mask in the morning and one for the evening commute. If this stops even one infection amongst us which would presumably affect others, then that will be worth it.
It appears you are seeing things from your point of view. at Ocean Walk, you can’t go to the beach, so you don’t see much nuisance. But you are young. What if your renter has young children and elderly parents who were supposedly to go with them to BC initially? Who knows if the virus is present in the BC room prior to the renters’ arrival. The virus is deadly to the elderly.
Chloroquine is experimental, and there’s no guarantee it will work.
You are within your legal rights to collect rent.
@Richelle is correct that the credit card company may pull back the payment. They have done so for many Wyndham and TS deposits past the rescission period, despite the iron-clad contracts.
I respect that you are doing what’s best for you and your family, which should be everyone’s primary obligation. But I can’t respect or disagree with your insistence on putting your renter family through potentially great inconvenience, although you perceive the inconvenience to be minor.
it just depends on balancing one’s primary familial obligation with secondary societal obligation. A lot of people are taking hits for renters knowing we are all in this together.
@CPNY @Sandi Bo @chapjim and others have gone out of their way to help renters, which may bite them in the back.
Upset, my MIL commented that I put my health, my wife’s, and my in-laws’ at risk by giving away n95 and surgical masks. My MIL is correct. I increased their health risk slightly so that others could greatly reduce their risks of this terrible virus. We are all in this together.
