Social Responsibility
« on: July 01, 2009, 11:48:04 AM »
Suppose you are running a summer camp for elementary school kids and two days into the two week camp two of the kids are pulled from it and their parents tell you they have confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus. Wouldn't it be your social responsibility to notify the other parents immediately and probably shut down the camp?

If you know your kid has been exposed to the H1N1 virus, what kind of social responsibility do you have to friends and co-workers?

I would notify the other parents & probably shut down the camp. I would also give co-workers & friends a heads-up.

But then when my kid's sick I don't pump him with tylenol & stick him on the school bus or send him over the neighbors house to play with their kid. Unlike a couple of my neighbors. ::)

Call the parents and ask them if they want their kids to be part of a swine flu party?

I think that you would have to notify the other parents as soon as possible.

Couldn't you tell them that two children from the camp tested positive for H1N1 swine flu without identifying them?

Yes. I thought he meant telling other parents who the child was that had swine flu.

I wish people here felt a social responsibility to avoid spreading their infections to the rest of us.  In Japan, people are expected to wear surgical masks in public when they have a cold, to provide some minimal degree of protection to the people around them, but here, social conventions only extend as far as placing a hand in the proximity of the mouth/nose area when coughing or sneezing, which probably does more harm than good.

I agree with you only because it make too much sense.
