I'd buy my parents vitamin C, vitamin D and Zinc

edit: keep an eye on them, if they get too sick or have a high fever, take them to the hospital.

Buy your sibling some soap and hot water.

There are germs, viruses, disease, illnesses all around us. on every surface of everything at all times.
Even the food we eat. When we cook food we're still eating dead germs/viruses etc.

I wouldn't get angry with a sibling over such a thing.
If your parents are a high risk category, maybe convey in a respectful manner the importance of protecting them, to your sibling.

Washing our hands with soap and hot water helps a lot.
proper hygiene, body washing and laundry is also important.

If your parents are 80+ yrs old or they have life threatening health conditions, e.g., cancer, immunodeficient, susceptible to respiratory diseases, then it would be a hard "C" and deny visits until confirmed immunized.
If your parents are healthy and they do not interact with an elderly or pregnant community, then a solid "B". Talk to your parents to see if they can shoulder the lack of concern for their health by the sibling.
I think "A" is what is universally applied.

I am not someone who wishes to take another's autonomy away. People can do as they please to their own bodies. If someone chooses not to vaccinate against treatable diseases, then I do not want to be near them due to my work around the elderly and those who are bedridden. It is not rocket science. :wub:

this is more of a B i would think, not really angry but you feel its important enough to bring up but only if parents are in high risk

i see and makes sense to me and i think overall you are in the A category because you think the responsibility falls on the careless actions of the sibling for not caring about elderly parents health
ty



is this really a hypothetical or is this about you?


and its a hypothetical for you but yes for me its about my sibling things like this is a reoccurring pattern
i fall more on the A/B and if i had to choose one it would be B ... i show mild frustration/anger when this happens to my parents because of his actions
im just curious what everyones take on it is

How would you determine it was 100% the sibling at fault?

Since this is a hypothetical, the hypothetical statement defines it being the siblings fault.

I have a hunch this "hypothetical" is based off an actual event that has happened with the OP.

We will see how this story unfolds.
