Finally gets it and realizes they might very well die if they don’t isolate.

And that’s likely to take a few more weeks from now when the rate of people dying is as bad as Italy and when the hospital sytem has largely fallen apart due to so many health workers either getting sick or running in fear because they can do little to help, yet are at a ridiculous risk if they keep working. Remember, there is no cure, and there we’ll be a huge shortage of respirators. They are already saying people coming in are coming in sicker than before. The futility is bound to take a toll after weeks of risking their lives for a country full of people unwilling to give up their freedom, even temporarily.
