Singer Has Covid

This is highly irresponsible. Almost maliciously stupid, really. Tell him straight that you know and, unless he at least cancels, you're telling the rest of the band. I understand your conundrum but people can be put in danger here.

 

I’d tell.

 

In general, it's unethical to gossip, even if the gossip is true. When lives and health are at stake, it is unethical not to.

 

Imagine the conundrum you'll face if one of your bandmates gets sick or even dies. You may have found out "accidentally" but not saying anything puts you in a position of liability, IMO. It would be irresponsible not to tell your bandmates. I would tell the singer I know and that I intend on telling the others. If he has a problem with that I would have no problem walking. Very selfish of him to put others in this position. Just my 2 drachma.

 

I’d tell everyone right now.
It’s crazy to keep something like that a secret

 

In my country that is a crime.

"Propagation of disease", is the term.

I would tell.

 

Damn straight the others have a right to know. If you're worried about tanking the project, maybe worry more about the integrity of one of the people you've signed on with. (The fact that the singer won't cop to his illness makes my blood boil.)

Good luck, stay well.

 

I would give the singer an option: either he lets the other band members know about his condition or you do.

 

Sunlight= best disinfectant.
Shout it out loud,.....if there's 'cover under darkness' happening.

 

Why would the singer not tell the other members? What is wrong with people?

 

such is the conundrum.

 

Your solution sounds good, as long as you're prepared for him to kick off once you give him the ultimatum. Could lead to even worse behaviour. I'd tell you band mates first and/or include him on a group email. There will be fallout either way.

 

Give him a choice: "You tell them or I tell them. If I have to tell them, I'm done with this project."

 

possibly self-consciousness/embarrassment by way of:
- political views
- religious views
- (anti) vax views
- combinations of the above
?

 

Regardless of anyone's opinion about the virus, he should tell all of you guys, and if not, you need to inform them.

 

This is the kind of thing that happens with the wives get involved. Now you know something that the singer (obviously) doesn't want you or the rest of the band to know, because his wife went behind his back and you found out. How exactly DID you find out? Call the guy's wife. Tell her she has to make him tell the band. Is he quarantining?

 

I can tolerate people taking chances with their own lives and health (i.e. not wearing a seatbelt) but I draw the line when they risk other people's lives and health.

You've given him the opportunity to "save face" - if he doesn't take that opportunity, he's being cavalier with the life of your immunocompromised bandmate, and risking someone ELSE's life is 100% a D!CK move.
