Your rights end where other people’s rights begin.

 

^^This is correct^^. You are responsible for your own safety. This is what we preach on this platform when it comes to guns. If you are at risk you should protect yourself. Stay at home. Don't allow others in your home. If your kid goes on spring break, they get to stay in a motel for two weeks after. Saying everyone else should stay at home is different than saying government should make people stay home. I have coworkers that are saying they have to get out because work is forcing the to go to work. The last time I checked, a company does not own its employees. You have a choice. Some at TGO are advocating ending other people's rights because of fear. This is no different from the left wanting guns ban. Could this cost some lives? Yes. The government is not here to protect you from your own stupidity. They do try. I have a medically fragile child. She would most likely not survive if she contracted coronavirus. I have no right to infringe on all of your rights because of my child's issues. It is my job to keep her safe. Not yours.

So a nurse is obligated to help, but a police officer isn't?  That's messed up. 

I don't know, so I looked it up because common sense tells me that is not correct. A quick check (couple of minutes) shows that Nurse.com says nurses are not required to act.

But as I said; I doubt this is even an issue.

A legal obligation an an ethics obligation is two different things. You can have a license pulled for both. It will very state to state, but Kent State University was teaching it in the late 90s. A lawyer can be correct in a statement that they don't have a legal obligation they do have a ethical obligation. I will try and get my wife to pull it up. I'll see if the standards have changed over the years.

So, it is law in some states and ethics in others. Some cases have eroded the law/ethical requirement. Clear as mud. Just like gun laws. 

The point being… is this an issue? We are in a dire emergency. I would guess the nurses that want to work will work, those that don’t; won’t. Will there be a mass pulling of licenses?? Doubtful.

But I could be wrong; don't laugh it's happened before.  :)
