Covid-19 making cowards?

i can't say, what the underling reasons are for no other help. how many people stop at an accident on a city street or highway, out of the hundreds that slow down, gawk, and drive off?

granddad knows he's a diabetic. maybe he skipped his meds?

i can't say, why he had his near diabetic shock, but i'll suspect a very low sugar count, which could put a diabetic into a coma.

i can't say if granddad takes care of himself, or his wife helps him (if he is married, and she is still living)

i can't say if granddad lives with the grandson and his mom/dad, and someone forgot to help him with his meds or food that day.

there's a lot............i can't say.

 

It may or may not have been cowardice. It might have also have been people seeing that someone had it in hand. As someone was already on with 911 and someone was already helping the man. Too many people and they "could" infect him. Or just be too many cooks spoil the broth. I mean how many other people besides you and his grandson did it really take? Zero. So we can't assume either way.

 

I've come across a situation or 2 like OPs and if its handled, why get involved? Too many people getting involved in a situation is just as bad or worse than nobody stepping up.

Came onto a scene where a biker had just crashed in a construction zone (I'm assuming he died, cross was erected at the site a week later). I'm the 2nd vehicle on scene. Rural BC highway, no cell service. 2 construction workers looked like they were just starting to give first aid/CPR. Traffic controller for the crew was waving us over to the shoulder so there'd be room for the first responders to access the scene. I asked the flagger if anyone had managed to contact an ambulance since there was no cell service and I had OnStar in my pickup. Flagger said they got a hold of them on the repeater. Nothing else to do aside from have a BS session with the family behind me while we waited for the road to open.

 

yeah same. At the most I'll usually ask, "you need a hand?" And let them say if they need help.

 

Good for you. You are a good man. No im not afraid of the covid 19 nonsense and would have done the same a you. Shame on ALL those nitwits

 

True, help is always appreciated. But could have been cowardice or apathy. Some people don't help because, "It's not my problem." It's the same type on here that say. If they die they die. We lose more to the flu." It's basically not them or their family, so it doesn't matter.

 

They were already cowards, 19 just made you notice them

 

This pu rolled twice in front of us yesterday. Guess who got out and was the first 1 to the car. A driver! Good on him. There were 2 other men stopped and helping so no need for me to get involved. There are good folks out there and then the rest of society.
