moral contamination dilemma
i’m at my dorm and i’m scared i may have covid i have what feels like a very bad cold/ sinus infection, but now suddenly i feel like i’m slightly hard at breathing(feels like i smoked a cig and there is some smoke in my lungs. what if i infect my roommate what if people are harmed because of me… other people at campus are also sick but they don’t seem to worry about it. my friend says since there are no restrictions in denmark and everyone on campus are vaccinated it’s fine and we don’t need a test. my mom says i could take my temperature and a test, but don’t have to, my teacher said i could take my temp but i could also just sleep and rest(so i did) but this was before the breathing issues. and cough. i have tried to call my mom and sister but they aren’t picking up…. so i’ll have to sleep here regardless. i feel selfish for not taking a test sooner, but there is a concert coming up at school that i kinda wanted to see and i also didn’t want to get it canceled because of me and ruin it for everyone… now i feel foolish and stupid and selfish. i know if i am infected it was someone else on campus, and i would never blame them if i got really sick but i feel like i am to blame now if anyone gets sick. i have stayed in my room and my roommate has brought me food so she really is my only point of contact except for the occasional bathroom visit…. what should i do. what is the moral thing to do. if i take a test tomorrow and it’s positive i will feel terrible, and maybe worry a lot of people, and my roommate might hate me. And wha if the concert ends up canceled. i hate corona so much!! also the day before yesterday before any real symptoms i was with my grand parents and my grand dad has cancer. i hate covid so much. i’m also slightly worried about dying in my sleep not being able to breathe.. i really wish my mom would pick up, but i think she might be avoiding it on purpose or smt. pls help what should i do
