Allow me to construct for the audience a hypothetical situation.

Say you had a friend. This friend was quite ill, but instead of consoling the friend and telling her that you hoped she felt better soon, you instead bitched at her to go home so as not to infect the other members of the population. Add in the fact that the illness with which the friend is afflicted is not in any way contagious.

Who is in the wrong here. You, or the friend?
