Italy about 650 odd off overcoming China with most deaths globally

They had around 470 deaths in the past 24 hours.
I'm so so so annoyed with my friend (a GP), who went to Italy skiing from 1st to 8th March. His friend, also a GP, who was on the trip has confirmed CV. My friend, hasn't been tested, but has been ill since he returned.
He's a stupid fucking idiot. Arrogant as fuck. He isn't self isolating either.
It's ignorant fuckers like him who have spread it globally and spread in in Italy. Considering removing him as a friend for sheer stupidity and idiocy. AIBU?

Personally I would be contemplating complaining about a GP who is I'll after being in a corona serious country with friends who have tested positive from the same trip.

General medical council would be my first thought.

YABU to just be considering it, he'd be no friend of mine.

Sorry, I meant complaining that GP refuses to isolate despite guidance - not because hes unwell. I didnt proof read!

Apologies.

He's on a sabbatical for this year, so isn't currently working - probably why his friend was tested, but he wasn't.
He annoys me so fucking much, I'm trying hard not to go apeshit on him. So he's just ignoring my questions for now.

This is what he messaged me on 12th March. Bear in mind they were on holiday and on flight home together on 8th March.

"Well apparently I don’t need to self isolate as I haven’t seen Joe (guy with confirmed CV) since his symptoms developed. So no need for isolating on my part!"

That's from a fucking GP!

Joe not real name of his friend.

If his understanding of incubation periods and contagion are that bad then he should be struck off for being a shit doctor as well as an arrogant and selfish twat.

I know. Deluded or lying. Nobody would have given him that advice.

I'm finding that this crisis is helping me re-evaluate friendships and other relationships.

One went out to a restaurant today, slap up lunch, she took a pic and was clearly sitting close to whoever she was with. She's fallen in my estimation.
