Or can someone fool you and say "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH THIS PERSON HAS TESTED POSITIVE!!" trying to scare them and it's not ok IMO. It's like saying, "This person has had suicidal thoughts". I work in a hospital, and there has been SO many cases there. I should probably resign.

What?
I'm saying I work at a hospital (NSIU) and many people there have tested positive.

And that translate into positive test fakers/suicidal thoughts fakers how?  Hell, my wife works a moonlighting job at the hospital complex in Fresno as a flex employee and she hasn't quit.  Apparently they rolled extra ICU beds into standby in the cafeteria facility just in case the main building overflows.
Btw, it's just an internship, I'm not there every day.

Then quit if it makes you uncomfortable.  That said, if you're looking into the career field of medical care you probably ought to reconsider if you're throwing the towel in on internships.

If I quit there will be consequences of me NOT getting a job at all!

Yes, that's what I just said.  But, given you're 18 there is an opportunity for you to shift your focus onto something different career wise.  There have been times during COVID that I wish that I could quit what I do (because of COVID) but that isn't feasible 20 years in.

Well that's a problem if that isn't what you want to do now isn't it?  Your parents don't have to make choices for you in regards to career decisions, that is on you at the end of the day. 

BTW, how does this all related to the original topic of this thread?  Presumably everything was fine in the end?

Back on track now, when I was at the hospital, another female said that someone has tested positive up there. So I was frightened and I didn't tell the lady anything cause I was tired. So I walked out and let my teacher know and she said calm down.
It will be okay.

Several weeks ago, our youngest son's Sunday school teacher tested positive for the virus.  They had only directly interacted a few times, for a few seconds each time, and both were masked.  But we still kept our son quarantined in one part of the house, away from the daycare kids, for a week or two.  We also had him wear a mask whenever he was around his brothers.  Even though kids don't spread the virus to adults very much, it still seemed like a prudent thing to do.  (He's six years old.)

Fast-forward several weeks.  One the daycare kids just came down with a mild cold yesterday.  Shortly after our youngest son got out of bed this morning, he quickly got up from the couch and went to the basement stairway.  We asked him what he was doing, and he said he seems to have caught that mild cold, so he was staying away from everyone.  Ha!  We sure conditioned him, didn't we?
