update with the Abels. To add to the mess of the 24 hrs it turns out the person he talked to didn’t speak English so apparently (or very minimally at least) when he asked about being moved to the hostel and then tried to confirm they didn’t have coronavirus the official said yes to the wrong thing.
I’m really questioning the decision to move them to a hostel of all places especially with the news now coming out that the quarantine may not have been a true quarantine.
On the topic of the American I mentioned elsewhere but something about using text speak with a serious subject matter comes off as kind of well bratty in my opinion. And this isn’t just a problem with him. I remember when a half marathon got cancelled someone posted about it in a FB group and same problem again. Use of acronyms made the OP come off as a brat even if that wasn’t their intention. And I wasn’t the only one either. I get Twitter has a character limit but there’s also a plus button to continue the tweet in another tweet.
Just don’t use text speak when talking about a serious subject matter is what I’m getting at here. You might not mean to come off as bratty but something about text speak tends to put a certain tone in people’s brains.
