'RHOC': Covid-19 positive Emily Simpson puts family at risk by going maskless, slammed as 'irresponsible'
The Orange County ladies appear to be divided when it comes to their approach towards Covid-19. While Shannon Beador is very paranoid about contracting it and is willing to go to great lengths to avoid it, others like Kelly Dodd, Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, and Emily Simpson don't seem to think much of the deadly virus. In one of the earlier episodes, Emily joined Kelly in downplaying the severity of coronavirus and called it a "superflu".
But it looks like Emily is beginning to understand the gravity of the pandemic, and what the deadly virus is capable of. On the latest episode of 'RHOC' the housewife revealed that she tested positive for Covid-19, although she never showed any symptoms for it. On the other hand, her husband Shane Simpson, who appears to be showing nearly every symptom associated with contracting the virus, tested negative.
After testing positive for Covid-19, instead of isolating herself, Emily got back to her house and began moving freely inside it without her mask. Although she later acknowledges that she may have spread the virus to her husband, and three little children, she still doesn't isolate herself. We see one of Emily's kids come close to her while she's tending to Shane.
When fans saw how Emily was putting her family at risk by not isolating herself, they began calling her out. A fan tweeted, "I still can't even get over Emily was just at home WITH COVID NOT in quarantine. This is mind boggling to me. #RHOC." "Why is Emily just out around her husband and her kids if she has covid?? Wtf is she not in quarantine?? How irresponsible. #RHOC," added the fan. Another fan wrote, "Why was Emily around her kids when she had Covid? and why was she also around Sean?she should’ve been isolating herself. This doesn’t make any sense.#RHOC #rhoc #bravotv #WWHL."

A fan wondered, "Why isn’t Emily wearing a mask in her house? Her husband and kids are negative and she’s walking around like Typhoid Mary #RHOC." "So Emily tested posted for Covid and just went home and stayed around her family and is surprised they are sick? #RHOC," expressed a fan. "Aw that's so sweet. Emily is such a giving mom that she allows her children full on, unprotected access to their dad who is in the bed very sick with covid. #RHOC," observed another.
