this is a bad thing right? we all agree that this is not some "persevering through hardship" moment, its a why the fuck didn't she get sent home, she could get horrendously sick or infect others kinda moment pic.twitter.com/dBlwOf2ulr

Ugh, sorry to hear you have it, but glad it's not as bad this time. Hope you are negative again soon.

She's very young, so I already know she's going to say things out loud and do things that are not wise. A lot of people her age do not take COVID seriously at all so I wonder if she has that mindset too. Maybe, who knows. My brother said he didn't see a point in getting any more booster shots and I was so annoyed. I test frequently and will get boosters until this thing truly is like the common cold.

I just know her team sat her down after this and was like okay, so what we're NOT gonna do.

I wish, in the US anyway, people took sickness seriously. Too many people push through not feeling well to go into work because they have bills, and while I know this is not the case for Jenna, I can sort of get why she'd still show up when you're the lead of a show, there's a schedule, you don't know if you're positive, etc. I just think we're too lax about sickness overall in the US.

I know why (Capitalism), but it amazes me that so many people didn't learn shit from the pandemic.

America. Land of the sick and poor.

🤣🤣🤣😅🥺

This is not it. Like, that’s already horrible - why tell us? Now when we watch the show we’ll know they had no problem casually endangering people.

[sandstorm]

Even if she didn't have COVID, she was still sick. She shouldn't have been there period.

[jime22]

This. I've come across people with snot and horrible coughing who will open with "it's not covid" as if any other kind of virus has ceased to exist.

[callonme_84]

Riight! Jeeze

[lolzerz]

yeah, rsv has been rampant in my city lately and not only is it a gnarly, 2-week illness, its still life threatening.

[fernandocolunga]

Didn’t Netflix any covid safety rules on sets? Like wtf

Also girl. Stay at home.

[mixtape_reverie]

Covid rules on set have become such a joke.

[ari_angelique]

Its like they think it just poof! magically disappeared. Meanwhile, just look at how many cases were in 2022 :(

ngl, when they announced they filmed in Romania I was side-eyeing that a bit. It felt like a deliberate move to duck certain regulations.
